2026 South Sound Saunter

About the Event

Inspired by the Seattle Super Saunter, Walk N Roll is bringing a three city walking event to Thurston County! Walk N Roll has designed a route to take folks from Lacey to Olympia and then to Tumwater, all in one day. Participants may walk or roll the route on their own time, journey by public transit, or join Walk N Roll on a guided urban hike! Together, we'll stop for food and coffee, take in local art, and learn about the history of the places we travel through. Participants are welcome to join us for the whole route or aim to link up with us along the way. Below are some anticipated timepoints. The entire route will be approximately 11 miles.
