2011 Summer Tuesday Evening Walking Series

East County Wind Walkers (ECWW) is a member of the American Volkssporting Association (AVA).  A Volkssport is an organized, non-competitive event (walk, bike, swim, cross-country ski, etc.) designed to appeal to all ages.  Most walk events are usually 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), or 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) and are rated 1 to 5, with 5 being the most difficult. 

In summer 2011, ECWW wants to get people walking for the fun of it.  We have scheduled a Tuesday evening Summer Walking series for 7 weeks starting on July 19, through just before Labor Day.  Group walks will be a combination of 5K, and shorter “fun” walks.   All walks will start @ 6:30 pm.  Walks will take an average of 1-1.5 hours, depending on the walk, and walker’s abilities.

East County Wind Walkers meet the second Thursday of the month, except December, at 6:45 pm at the Legacy Mount Hood Medical center, located at 24800 SE Stark in Gresham.  Please join us for refreshments, fun and meet some new friends.  Everyone is welcome.  We host Year-Round Events (YREs) similar to those below, and traditional one-time walks such as the July 16 Gresham Art Walk and September 10 Estacada Mural walk.  Check out our website at www.eastcountywindwalkers.org for more information.  Or call Regina Blake at 503-665-0950, or reggie_blake@yahoo.com, or Ric Catron at 503-665-9894, or sempervirens@mindspring.com
