Traditional (Hosted) Walking Events are normally held on weekends or special holidays/celebrations. These walks will have club members at the start, about midway, and finish of the course to help you get started and complete it. The event will have a start time normally allowing several hours in which you can start and adequate time for you to finish. Events are not competitive and times are not kept. In most traditional walking events, the trail will be marked with colored arrows and ribbons designating where the walk goes. A map and written directions will also be available. Swims, bikes and other sports will be similar to the walking events when they are held. For an extra challenge and variety during the year, we add several Traditional Walks that are Guided Group Walks starting at a specific time for a specific day.
Year-Round Walking Events (YRE's) are Walks that can be walked on any day of the year. These walks will have a starting point where you go to register on your own. YRE's differ from Hosted Events in some important ways. The trail will not be marked but instructions and usually a map will be available for you. You can follow the route on your own at nearly any time convenient to you. YRE's must be completed during daylight hours for safety reasons. In addition to walks we also have a Bike year round and a Swim year round.
Seasonal Walking Events are similar to YRE's except that they are offered in a time period less than a year. Many will start April 1 and end September 30 or as other conditions (mainly weather) permit a safe trail. Like YRE's the trail will not be marked but instructions and a map will be provided and the walks must be completed during daylight hours for safety reasons.
