Join us from 10:00am – 11:00am on Saturday, August 22 at the John Topits Upper Loop trail for this month’s Sole Mates' Community Walk! In May of 2023, Coos Bay Public Library, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), and twenty members of the Coos Bay community formed the Sole Mates. This partnership began a two-year research study to learn the effects of walking as a group and engaging civically to improve public health and walkability in our community. The Sole Mates decided to use funds awarded by OHSU to create a free walking guide to inspire other community members to get outside, walk, and improve their health. Coos Bay Public Library and the Sole Mates, will co-host Sole Mates’ Community Walk on every fourth Saturday. August’s walk will be held at John Topits Upper Loop (355 Hull St, Coos Bay). Every month, we will meet at the next trail in the Walking Guide. Walks are FREE to join and open to everyone! Let's walk!Photos from Coos Bay Library's post
