About the event

Would you walk 2 miles to save a shelter pet?

Walk with or without your bestie and enjoy a morning walk through the historic Town of Onancock. 

The route begins at the Historic Onancock School, takes you past scenic views of Onancock Creek, historic homes and quaint town businesses and finishes back at the school where light refreshments will be served.  Walk is approximately 2 miles.

When you return you can choose to do the nature trail behind the school that takes you along side the creek and marshes where native fowl can be seen.  Trail is approximately 1/4 mile.
