In brief: Knox Walks for Fitness, Women's Business Network and more in the Fox Chapel area

Knox Walks For Fitness

Knox Walks for Fitness is a community walking group in Blawnox that promotes fun and fitness. The group meets for walks Mondays at 6 p.m., weather permitting.

Participants should meet at the Blawnox Community Park or can join the walk along the route. The group walks a 1.5-mile lap that ends back at the park. A second lap will take place if enough people are interested.

The weekly event is sponsored by The Best of Blawnox, LLC.
