The Dawson Creek area....lots of pathways and ponds--a wonderful place to stroll!


Please arrive by 9:15 to get registered and ready to walk by 9:30am

On November 17th, we'll return to Dawson Creek to offer a guided walk at 9:30am. We'll have an approximately 30 minute registration period and about 4 people to handle that process...handing out start cards, taking completed start cards, collecting money, and stamping books. We'll send the 5K groups off to their start at the NE corner of the Costco Parking Lot with guides for  fast (under 1 hour), medium fast (just over 1 hour), and slow groups (1:15-1:45 or so). Then we'll send out the fast 10K walkers (10K in under 2 hours), about 5 minutes later, the medium speed walkers (10K in just over 2 hours), and then in about another 5 minutes send out the final 10K group of slow walkers (10K in about 2:15-2:30). This way if a walker chooses to walk with the fast group and finds out the pace is too quick, they can drop back and join the slower-paced groups. There'll be no need for trail marking, trail sweeping, checkpoints, or extended start times....maps/directions are ready to go.

RuthAnne,
There is a Wednesday walking group that meets in various locations in Vancouver and Portland (and beyond)...10am. There are also group walks on weekends when there are no other traditional volkswalks scheduled...Sat at 10am, Sun at 1pm. Visit walkoregon.org and enter your email in the Yahoo list (bottom left side of homepage)...that will put you on a weekly email of when and where walks are happening.
