YOU FOUND US 👀👋
A 5-mile walk where the best conversations of the week happen.
​
​Somewhere around mile three, something shifts.
Phones away. One honest question. A stranger who says exactly the thing you needed to hear.
​
Every Saturday. 18+ cities. Free.​​
HOW IT WORKS
Bring a topic
Before you arrive, think of one topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
Circle up & share
We gather in a circle. Your walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
Walk, talk & float
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
Feel more alive
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
Your turn to walk, talk, and float:
It started with eight people and a tweet.
It didn't stay that way.

BY THE NUMBERS
Proof that connection scales — one walk,
one city, one conversation at a time
We're not a walking club.
We're a place to belong.
The world lost its gathering places. We're building them back.
"I had no friends when I moved here. The walk changed everything for me."
Regulars attend 20+ times (80 people showed up in a hail storm once)
"The only event that's a non-negotiable on my calendar"
Man attended 50+ walks, became a social butterfly, then sold his company for 7 figures
Your turn to walk, talk, and float:
But the walk is just the front door.
What starts as 5 miles on a Saturday has a way of becoming the center of people's weeks — then their friendships, then their lives.
So we built a whole world around it: a letter that lands every Friday, conversations that go deeper than the trail has time for, and a private room for those who want to go all the way in.
However you found us, there's a door here for you.
Here's the whole world, in one glance.
The Board Walks
Our signature 5-mile walk. Phones away and better conversations, every Saturday.
The Friday Debrief
Where we tell you what happened. The best moments from the trail, every Friday.
Whimsy World
Our media home. The conversations the walk cracks open and never has time to finish.
The Board
The private room. A curated layer for leaders and deep thinkers to connect outside of the walks.
Underneath it all is one idea:
​The right environment changes who you get to be.
Don't just take our word for it.

Read theirs:
Izzy Quane
“I’ve built deeper friendships in 13 weeks of hosting this walk than in 3 years of living in Detroit. This is the 'Friends the TV show' community I've always wanted but could never find, no matter how hard I tried. One regular is quitting her job because they make her work on Saturdays, and she doesn't want to miss the walk."
Arth Vidyarthi
"The people I've met have become lifelong friends and mentors. They've guided me in so many ways, given me constructive criticism, called me out when I needed it, and kept me from going off the deep end. Countless conversations on the walk have massively shaped the person I am today."
Catherine Meyer
"I try to go to The Board Walks every Saturday. I meet the most amazing people and have the most amazing conversations. It tends to attract a certain type: excited about life, interested in meaningful conversation, and ambitious, go-getter people. I just LOVE it. It's one of the highlights of my week."
Brian Schuster
"The walk isn't in my city yet. So every single time I travel to Austin, I always make sure my trip overlaps with the walk. Hands down, the most interesting people and the best connections always happen here. If you haven't done it, you're really missing out. This community is something special."
