Where can i find a casual walking group near me?

I’ve been trying to find a good local walking group for ages, but everything I find is either too fast-paced or seems to just be for retirees. I’m in my thirties and just want a casual, social way to get some steps in around the neighborhood without it feeling like a workout. Has anyone had luck finding something like that around here?

I actually did find something similar once through Meetup. It was billed as casual and slow, and we wandered the neighborhood with a chatty group in our thirties. We grabbed coffee after and it felt more social than a workout.

I’ve bounced between a few options and it’s always either everyone’s a lot older or the pace is too brisk. I felt out of place after the first couple of weeks.

Is the real problem maybe the label 'group'? Maybe you just want a couple of neighbors to wander with instead of signing up for a formal thing.

Another angle I tried was posting a quick invite to two or three neighbors and just setting a 30 minute route; no pressure, no signups, just see who shows.
