St. Joe FIT launches 2025 season

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The 2025 season of St. Joe FIT is in its 12th season and offers a free 10-week family-friendly program for anyone.
The 10-week season will start the first week of June and will continue through the first week of August.
St. Joe FIT invites residents to explore local trails, build community and boost their health one step at a time. The program will offers a simple formula: walk, connect and repeat.
Each week features a different trail across the city, with in-person group walks scheduled every Tuesday evening at 5:30 p.m.
Participants may join these weekly gatherings or walk on their own at any time during the week.
The program is also a recurring collaboration with the Friends of the Animal Shelter. During several Tuesday evening walks, volunteers will be on-site with adoptable dogs, offering participants a chance to meet some furry walking buddies who are looking for their fur-ever homes.
Trails for the season include the Riverwalk, Bartlett, Rock Island (East and West), Maple Leaf, Southwest (North and South), Patee, Northeast and Northwest.
Participants are encouraged to register in advance. Maps and additional program details can be found at the St. Joe FIT website.
