Last year, volunteer leaders offered more than 200 guided walks, strolls, hikes, bike rides, paddles, tastes, sips, and events during the region’s most invigorating time of year, and 50,000 explorers took part in the delight that was spread throughout 35 towns in the National Heritage Corridor! Walktober boosts economic activity not only during the fall, but all year long as visitors return to their old and new-found favorite spots.

Norwich has quickly become a Walktober model as city agencies and nonprofits work together to coordinate activities that will attract visitors to their city’s special features and stories. Putnam and Windham adopted this model last year and offered many coordinated choices; both towns are looking to equal or better their Walktober exposure this year. Organizers from Southbridge are also stepping up to host a great variety of activities that will entice residents and visitors alike to explore their community. Make sure your town or nonprofit takes advantage of Walktober, too!
