Ft. Loudoun State Historic Park 5K/10K Walk w/ETW, Vonore, TN, Saturday, Nov. 13

Join the East Tennessee Wanderers for a 5K or 10K walk in the Ft. Loudoun State Historic Park in Vonore, TN. This is a picturesque walk along natural trails. We should be able to enjoy the fall foliage along the beautiful Tellico Lake. The walk will start with a brief exploration of the history of this British fort and the Overhill Cherokee Nation.

We will start the 10K at 9:00am and the 5K walk at 10:00am. We will meet at Ft Loudoun State Historic Park Visitor's Center, 338 Fort Loudoun Rd, Vonore, TN. Both the 5K and 10 walks will be on both natural paths and old roadbeds. There are moderate elevation changes for both walks (400 ft). Please try to arrive 15 minutes prior to your departure time to register.

We will have an optional picnic lunch at a nearby picnic pavilion, after the walk. Lunch should start around 12:00 noon (give or take). Please pack a lunch and drinks as needed.

This is a sanctioned walk and the cost is $3.00, cash, payable to the walk leader at the start of the walk to cover sanctioning and insurance costs. ETW members can pre-register on-line using the on-line start box.

Dogs are allowed on a leash for the walk.

Our sanctioned walks are open to everyone. Social distancing is still encouraged for anyone not yet vaccinated. We also have occasional non-sanctioned walks that are free and encourage our members to arrange their own non-sanctioned walks to explore eastern Tennessee with other members within the club. We are launching some new challenge programs to encourage even more walking on your own. Feel free to check out our local walking chapter at www.easttennesseewanderers.org .
