What we're about
This meet-up is sponsored by the Indiana Volkssport Assocation (INVA) which is part of America's Walking Club http://ava.org/ or AVA -American Volkssport Association and the International Federation of Popular Sports (IVV). We promote walking and some bike meetups all across Indiana. Our walks are guided or on marked trails and typically are from three to six miles (5K to 10K). Trails are in cities, small towns, parks, forests, anywhere there is a pleasant or interesting area to walk. Join us and have fun, meet new people and get fit!
Our Walking Meetup is part of a National and International Walking Club. Since we do not collect any annual fees, our Meetup is financed through a $3 fee for each walk. However, anyone doing our walks for the first time can “try it out” for free.
When available, walkers can purchase a New Walker Package for $10 which includes coupons for three free walks along with Event and Distance Books (which normally cost $6 each). Walkers can stamp their books at each event. These books are used at all National and International walks. We can explain how this is done when you register.

Walkers can do either a 5 ,10, or 15 K walk and we are also adding a 11 K bike event. The walk routes make use of the Park's existing trail system, which meanders over mostly flat and through mostly forested areas. Two inclines of significance may be encountered on the two longest routes. The bike route makes use of the Park's existing bike trail, which is paved and meanders through mostly flat and forested areas. You must bring your own bike. Minor inclines may be encountered. You will find more detailed information regarding these events at the AVA walk link ) You may start the walk anytime between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM. There may be a group walk at 10:00 AM You can walk at your pace and the idea is to enjoy the beauty of the park, get some exercise and meet new people. A 5K walk is about 3 miles, 10K is about 6 miles and 15 K is about 9.6 miles. There is no problem if you walk a shorter (or longer) distance. It will speed up the registration process (but is not necessary) if you bring two peel-off address labels
