Vancouver Walking Club, PO Box 2121, Vancouver WA 98668-2121
National Level Challenges sponsored by various clubs throughout the nation
Each challenge has its own set of rules made by the club that is sponsoring the challenge. In all challenges you must buy the book and then do the walks. You must check with each sponsoring club to get the exact rules. Some clubs are very strict on their rules and other clubs are just the opposite. Most programs allow the participants up to (12) twelve months starting from the official end date to complete any Special Program. Completed books are to be returned to the point of contact or club hosting the program to receive recognition and award. Some end dates changed due to COVID.
