The Group Walks will be on Saturdays starting at 8:00 am. The walks will be rotated
about the city to make it more convenient for members to attend. Walkers of all paces
and fitness levels are welcome to join the group. When there is a race on Saturday
that is walker friendly, that race will substitute for the usual Group Walk on that
Saturday to encourage race directors to provide more walker friendly races. (Stop by
for a group walk before joining!) The schedule for May and June is as follows:

September   24   Whetstone Park/Park of Roses
