Benefits of Joining Our Club!

Discover all the amazing benefits and opportunities that come with being a Sugarloafers member

Fun

Walking can be fun, especially if it is at your own natural pace, in locations of interest, and with other people that share your interests. Our club has designed walks that highlight the best that walk area has to offer, be it architecture, history, or park lands.

Friendship

Make new acquaintances and friends by participating in our monthly group walks, our regular Wednesday 5 kilometer walks, our monthly dinners, and our Annual Meeting.

Fitness

Walking has been proven to be the best activity for your health. Even as little as 20 minutes helps increase your life expectancy. A 5 kilometer walk at a reasonable pace takes over one hour.

Food

What's better than having an ice cream or a pastry during or after a good walk? Our club also has monthly dinners for members to get together in a relaxed, social atmosphere.

Club Newsletter

Our club newsletter will keep you abreast of our club activities and upcoming events.

Email Notifications

Our membership receives regular email notifications of upcoming traditional, seasonal, Monthly Group, and Wednesday 5K walk events. Email invitations are also sent out regarding our Monthly Social dinner events.

Annual Meeting

Our Annual meeting, usually in March, is open to all members and their guests. Come enjoy the camaraderie of other club members, enjoy the refreshments, and vote for the club officers.

Monthly Business Meetings

Our monthly business meetings are usually held on the second Tuesday of the month. The date and meeting place is announced on this website and an email is sent out to the SVSVC membership. We socialize a bit before and after the meeting.

Sugarloafers OSB Challenge

This Challenge is for members that finish club Year Round Events and Seasonal Events on the AVA's Online Start Box (OSB). The events must be included on a Sugarloafers OSB Challenge insert card. Each event on the insert card is valued as $0.50.

It is easy to get started using the Sugarloafers OSB Challenge:

Select the challenge in the challenge section of the OSB "My Books" tab. This just has to be done once for each OSB walker.
Check the challenge book on the "Finish Table" tab for each of our club's YRE/SEs events that you walk.
Challenge events will accumulate on OSB insert cards and can be printed in the same way that event and distance insert cards are printed.
The challenge insert cards can be redeemed for yellow coupons, IVV books, and even cash.

Recently, the number of events needed for completion is based on the year, for example, 25 events for the year 2025. The award for completion for this Challenge is a number of coupons for free walks.
