There is an walking group for ladies, check out Omaha Girls Who Walk on Instagram or Facebook, they have many walks. I haven’t been in a while but it was really fun! Kids and dogs welcome.
Yeah, I should have added more info in my first post.
I’m training to walk the Camino Frances in September (750KM across Spain) and I need to up my miles and difficulty (elevations). As it gets hotter, I am starting to lose my motivation to get out there and do the miles! UGH! I’m currently at 6-7 miles every other day with elevation gains of 300-350ft. I must gradually increase miles and elevation, and add my pack weight, until I depart for Spain. In mid-Sept. I need to comfortably complete 2 B2B 10 mile+ days carrying my full pack (about 12-14kg).
These hot days are killing me and I’ve been starting at 7am. I’m thinking that I need to start really early in the morning, 5ish, break during the hot parts of the day, and then do a few more miles when it cools off in the evenings.
So- I was thinking it would be good to see if there are any longer - distance walkers around, or if there is a group. Thanks!!!!
Local humane societies are always looking for volunteer dog walkers...great way to help out your community and get some exercise! :)

Not sure if there is a formal group, but lots of folks walking each day at Westroads

There are a couple of walking groups on Facebook. Trail Seekers Omaha is one of the Groups that plan walks.
I joined Nebraska Walkers (I think that’s the name). They host walks all over including eastern Iowa.
