The Boilermaker Walk presented by Slocum-Dickson Medical Group is a great way to get out and moving while being a part of the Boilermaker Experience!

The Boilermaker Walk starts and finishes on the beautiful MVCC Utica campus. Walk through Utica’s Parks, which were funded by the Proctor family and designed by the Olmsted’s (Frederick Sr. & Jr.), and turn around at designated markers for a 1, 2, 3, or 3.75-mile walk. You can learn more about this history by visiting Olmsted City.

Before and/or after your walk, join the festivities of the Boilermaker’s Health & Wellness Expo presented by MVHS on the quad and in the Jorgensen Field House of the MVCC campus.
