Benefits of joining our Club!

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 highlights the best that walk area has to offer, be it architecture, history, or park lands.

Friendship

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