Why 100 Walks?

Something happens when you take the same simple action again and again: you start to see more.

That’s where 100 Walks began—with the idea of taking 100 walks and seeing what might happen along the way.

This isn’t about counting steps, walking faster, or reaching a certain distance. Your walks can be ten minutes or two hours. They can be thoughtful, strange, beautiful, uneventful, surprising, or completely ordinary.

What matters is going.

Because when you walk regularly, you give yourself time to notice. You start looking more closely at places you thought you knew. You follow things that make you curious. You discover tiny worlds, unexpected paths, good sticks, strange objects, changing seasons, and things you probably would have walked right past before.

Walk by walk, the world gets a little more interesting.

And so do your walks.

My Story

I didn’t set out to build a walking community. I just needed somewhere to put my feet.

After a devastating breakup, I took a walk out of sheer desperation. I didn’t expect anything from it. But somewhere along the way, in the quiet of the trees and the rhythm of my steps, I felt something I hadn’t felt in a long time: a little bit of peace.

It was enough to make me wonder:

What would happen if I took 100 walks?

I didn’t know where that question would lead, but I decided to find out. So I kept walking.

Some walks helped. Some were beautiful. Some were boring. Some gave me things to think about. Others simply got me out of the house. But somewhere during those 100 walks, walking stopped being something I was doing just to feel better.

It became a way of paying attention to my life.

I started noticing more. Exploring more. Getting curious about the places around me. Walking gave me somewhere to go when life was hard, but it also gave me a way to experience the ordinary world differently when life wasn’t hard.

That experience eventually became 100 Walks.

Now we create unusual walking invitations, experiences, and challenges designed to give you a reason to step outside, look a little closer, and see what happens.

A Few Things We Believe About Walking

Keep It Simple - You don’t need to make every walk meaningful. Some days, getting outside and wandering around for ten minutes is plenty.

Get Curious - Give yourself something to look for. Follow a color. Investigate something strange. Take the path you usually pass. Curiosity can turn a very ordinary walk into an adventure.

Pay Attention - Look up. Look down. Stop when something catches your eye. The interesting part of a walk is often the thing you weren’t looking for.

Get Distracted - A suspicious squirrel, an excellent stick, a tiny door, a strange shadow—go investigate. You are allowed to abandon the plan because something more interesting showed up.

Keep Walking - You don’t have to walk every day or maintain a streak. Just keep coming back. There will always be something new to notice.

You’re Not Alone

100 Walks is full of people who stop for tiny things, take pictures nobody else quite understands, wander down paths just to see where they go, and come home from ordinary walks with stories.

If that sounds like you, you’ve found your people.
