Membership Information
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 distance and 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 more about the area, to get exercise, to meet new people and to have fun.
Come and walk with us!
Join us for Fun, Fitness, Friendship, and Food!!!
