Event




We are an international organization offering self-paced physical activities, predominately walking, for all to enjoy. 

Routes are developed by clubs and participants track their accomplishments through event stamps kept in record books.  The low-cost incentive program rewards personal accomplishments. 

Trails are selected for scenic interest, historic points, natural beauty and walkability.  It is a great way to learn about the area, to get exercise, to meet new people and to have fun. 

Come and walk with us!
