Plymouth to Host All Abilities Walk, Roll, and Ride

The City of Plymouth is gearing up for its All Abilities Walk, Roll, and Ride event this September at the Northwest Greenway Pavilion.

“We are really celebrating inclusion and just opportunities for people with disabilities in the community,” says Plymouth Recreation Supervisor Paul Pearson. “Especially to experience our parks here in Plymouth. Our goal is to make them as accessible as possible.”

Pearson encourages people of all abilities to come walk, roll or ride through the Northwest Greenway on an accessible route suitable for wheelchairs, walkers, strollers and other mobility devices. No registration is required.

“That will be Saturday, September 19th. We’ll start at 9:30 a.m.,” says Pearson. “There is no end time. It’s whenever people finish their route they want to choose to walk or ride or roll.”

On the day of the event, participants can just show up and pick the accessible route that fits them best. Distances range from a little over a mile to around a 5K.

Participants can also grab a treat during the event while supporting a good cause.

“We’ll have Hope Filled Cafe at the event,” says Pearson. “The really cool thing about their food truck is they employ people with autism, young adults with autism and cognitive disabilities. So they will be out here serving smoothies and other items.”
