Jane’s Walk is an annual, internationally-coordinated
weekend of walking events inspired by the work of acclaimed urbanist and author Jane Jacobs. For
three days in cities around the globe, locally-organized free walking events bring people together to
tell stories about their communities, explore their cities and connect with neighbors.
Jane’s Walk 5280 is a local collaborative effort between the Denver Regional Council of Governments
(DRCOG) and Walk2Connect. Throughout the Denver region, the Jane’s Walk 5280 organizers will
be coordinating 30-40 walks across the metropolitan area. These walks will be led by and for
community members. Leaders share their knowledge and passion along the walking tour and also
encourage discussion and participation amongst the walk’s participants.
Seeking Walk Tour Leaders
Jane’s Walk 5280 is actively seeking walking trip leaders from across the Front Range to host walks.
No previous experience is needed, training and tips for walk leaders will be provided. Walking trip
leaders ideally have a passion to explore, talk about and celebrate neighborhoods and communities
found within them. If you’re interested in leading a walking conversation in your community or any
spot in the city that you’d like to share with others, please visit our website and submit your walk.

A Jane’s Walk can focus on almost any aspect of a community and on almost any topic you can think
of. Walks can be serious or funny, informative or exploratory; they can look at the history of a place,
or at what’s happening there right now. And, anyone can lead a walk… because everyone is an
expert on the place where they live!
Seeking Event Partners
Community partners can support Jane’s Walk 5280 through collaboration, financial contributions and
in-kind donations. Please contact event organizers if your organization is interested in being a part of
this unique event.
