Our walking group is a time to get your steps in before our facility opens. Walk with friends/jog/or run the mile loop with us on Saturdays at 8:20 am. It’s a time to get healthy and create bonds with others who enjoy the outdoors.
The only date we may have to cancel due to weather is October 18th due to our Fall Craft Bazaar in the gym. All other walks will happen outdoors, or in our gymnasium if weather is not the greatest.
We will meet by the Butterfly Monument outside our facility on outdoor days. Be sure to pre-register so our lead Walker knows how many to expect!
