This will be a no-host event.

American Volksport Association is an organization that promotes exercise and fitness through non-competitive volksporting event. The AVA's network of 305 Walking Clubs organize more than 3,000 walking events as well as occasional bikes, skis, and swims every year in most of our 50 states. All events are open to the public. http://www.ava.org/......

The local AVA club organizing this walk is the Low Desert Roadrunners.

Each participant will have to fill out a card for the AVA prior to the walk. They use the card to check you back in when you return, to verify you got the checkpoint question right and to make sure you return from the walk ok (and they don't have to look for you).

I walk for free, but donate $3 to the club to help defray their costs for organizing it. If you are interested in the AVA New Walker program http://www.ava.org/Wh.... and walking for credit, they can explain that too.

Please note: Not all AVA walks allow pets. The event will indicate whether they are allowed. Of course, any event that I post will allow pets. Dogs must be leashed. And picking up after them is mandatory. Usually there will be a communal doggy water bowl provided by the club putting this on.

The event will also indicate the difficulty for strollers.

These walks can get quite warm. I always bring water for me and the pupster.
