How do I find a walking group in my area?

Open the live map and you will see walking groups and group walks happening near you. Filter by distance, pace, terrain, and time of day, then request to join in one tap. If nothing nearby fits, create your own group walk and let people in your area find and join it.

Are walking groups free to join?

Yes. Finding walking groups, joining group walks, and chatting with your group are all free on iOS and Android. You only approve who joins the walks you host.

Can I start my own walking group?

Absolutely. Create a public, friends-only, or private group walk in under a minute, set it as a recurring daily or weekly walk, and build a consistent local walking group over time.

What is the difference between a walking group and a walking buddy?

A walking buddy is one person you walk with, matched on pace and schedule. A walking group is several people walking the same route together, usually on a repeating slot, and it keeps going even when one or two cannot make it that week. Plenty of walkers use both.

How big is a typical group walk?

Hosts set a maximum when they create the walk and most sit between three and eight. The listing shows how many have joined and how many spots are left, so you know before you commit whether you are joining a handful or a crowd.

What if nobody joins the group walk I create?

Walk it anyway and it still counts toward your stats and streak. New walks surface on the live map for everyone nearby, and recurring walks tend to fill over a few weeks as people in your area see the same slot come round again.

I really like the idea. Seems like I'm the first walker in my city, but the concept is exactly what I wanted.

Key Takeaways

A walking group is several people walking a set route together on a repeating schedule, rather than a one-off meetup or a single walking partner.
Open the live map to see group walks already scheduled near you, filtered by distance, pace, terrain, and time of day.
Any walker can host. Creating a group walk takes under a minute, and you choose whether it is public, friends only, or private.
Recurring walks are what turn a group into a habit: set one daily, weekly, or monthly and the same faces start showing up.
Every walk carries its own group chat for meeting points and last-minute changes, and exact locations stay offset by 200 meters.

What is a Walking Group?

Several people who walk together on a repeating schedule, usually organised around a shared neighbourhood, pace, or purpose. Anyone can host one, and the group is defined by the recurring walk rather than by any formal membership.

Stop walking alone. Walk With Me connects you with local walking groups based on your location, pace, and interests. Discover group walks happening right now in your neighborhood.

Open the map and instantly see group walks happening near you. Filter by distance, pace, terrain, and time of day to find the perfect match.

Request to join any public walk, or create your own and invite others. Set it as public, friends-only, or private. You control who joins.

Fitness, socializing, dog walking, photography, hiking, or just getting fresh air. Tag your walk so people with matching interests can find it.

Every walk has a group chat. Coordinate meeting points, share updates, and connect with your walking group before, during, and after the walk.

Set up daily, weekly, or monthly recurring walks to build a consistent walking group. Your community grows with every walk.

Your exact location is never shared. Meeting points are offset by 200 meters for privacy. Block and report anyone instantly.

Social fitness runs on recurring plans rather than willpower: a walking group that meets on a repeating schedule — including women-only walking groups — turns showing up into the default instead of a decision.

A dog walk is a walking group with a built-in icebreaker: pet-friendly group walks get their own marker on the map, so owners and dogs who keep the same daily route can actually find each other.
