The Boilermaker Walk presented by Slocum-Dickson Medical Group is a great way to get out and moving while being a part of the Boilermaker Experience!

There are two (2) courses to choose from, both of which start and finish on the beautiful MVCC Utica campus. Each course highlights Utica’s Parks which were funded by the Proctor family and designed by the Olmsted’s (Frederick Sr. & Jr.). You can learn more about this history by visiting Olmsted City.

Before and/or after your walk, join the festivities of the Boilermaker’s Health & Wellness Expo presented by MVHS in the quad and in the Jorgensen Field House of the MVCC campus.
