WEDNESDAY
WALKS Groups'
Seasonal Walks
FORMAT: Wed walkers will gather at
Start Point (St.Pt.) from 9:00–9:40 am to
register, use restrooms, & meet up with
old friends, and make new ones. In interest of
safety for our volunteers, & each other,
in St.Pt. area, please wear face masks. On
open trail, wearing masks will be an
individual option depending on each person’s
comfort level. It is strongly recommended that
all carry a mask in case you need to enter a
facility where masks are required, such as a
hospital, school, or restaurant. Please bear
with us; thanks.
From 9:15-9:45 am, after each participant has completed his/her registration, they may depart following the route’s directions/map as an individual, or in small groups as “Self-Guided” walkers. At 9:30, a “10K Guided-Group” will depart, followed at 9:45 by a “5K Guided-Group”. Both “guided groups” will be led by appointed volunteer(s). Directions/maps will be provided to groups’ leaders. The two-distances usually offered will be in the range of: 5K (3.1mi) to 6K; and 10K (6.2mi) to 11K. Registration will be done on a common sign-in sheet (use sticky address labels if you have them), & each participant will deposit into a collection box correct cash (or check to “Suncoast Sandpipers”) - $3 if IVV Credit; $2 Non-Credit). Usually Sunday afternoon, those on Volks South’s Listservs will automatically receive E-message with specific driving directions to the St.Pt. (or *Alternate St.Pt.) & other information. Restaurants used by VS in past are provided only for reference. In interest of social distancing, selecting other restaurants, or outdoor self-picnic areas is also encouraged. Below, an asterisk (*) by a walk’s title indicates an alternate location for our St.Pt. than that published by AVA, or found on its web page. To be on our Listservs, and/or get additional info, contact Marion Averill, or Doug/Jackie Reynolds (WalkingAverills@aol.com); (dougreynolds@juno.com); 941-794-5094, or Emergency Cell 518-229-1141. SPONSORS – All Wed. walks are hosted by the Volks South group, & the AVA Suncoast Sandpipers club in the greater Tampa Bay area that has sanctioned & maintains each of the walks.
