Walks - Sat. July 25 - Wed. July 29

Monday morning ravine walk

Join us Saturday for a walk starting from Tim's at 7:30 am. Training distances are as follows: New Albany and Corning racers need to do 12 km; Scotia racers need to do 8 km. The rest may choose a distance that suits you.

 

Weekday walks vary - day walkers check in through Lou Ann or Dawn. Evening walks are Monday (Loblaws) and Wednesday (Occasions) starting at 7:00 pm. Distances are 6-8 km. We need extra people to join the evening walks - please sign in on the blog.

 

Announcements from Ruth - Lee is organizing a 14K walk this Sunday, July 26 for anyone who is interested.  No need to do the full 14K (it’s the training distance for the New Albany race).  We’ll start by walking over to the CNE grounds to watch the start of the men’s 50K race walking (makes me tired just thinking about it).  Here is a link to Lee’s web site with the location, time, and route. http://wowpowerwalking.com/wp/?page_id=3885
