About us
Fun, Fitness, and Friendship - The Victoria Pathfinders Walking Club (a Volkssport club) has been offering a variety of walks throughout Greater Victoria since 1989. Most of our walks are 10 km in length, with 5 km options on our weekend walks. To enjoy our walks you should be comfortable walking five kilometers in an hour or 10 km in two hours. Our walks start promptly at 10:00 a.m. so we would appreciate you arriving by 9:45 a.m. for registration.
Don’t be discouraged by the low number of people registering for our walks on Meetup. Most of our regular walkers don’t indicate their attendance on Meetup. Typical attendance for our weekday walks is 8 to 12. On weekends, typical attendance is between 20 and 40.
If you would like to explore parts of Greater Victoria you never knew existed with friendly people who will welcome you to the group, then our walks are for you. You will be required to pay a participation fee of $1 or $2 depending on the walk. We charge this small fee to offset our costs. Annual membership is $10. (Walkers who have paid the $10 annual membership fee can purchase discount cards – 20 walks for $10 – that can be used for any $1 walk.)
If you are looking for something to do that's enjoyable, healthful, and non-competitive why not give one of our walks a try? We'd love to meet you!

The 10 km route climbs to the top of Cobble Hill (elevation 329 metres) with lovely views from the top and may take up to three hours. The 7 km route also goes to the top of the hill but by a shorter and less steep route. This will probably take about 2 hours. For both of these two routes hiking poles and sturdy shoes are recommended. The 5 km route stays on the lower trails of the hill and the Nature Park and also includes a tour of the village of Cobble Hill. Lunch after the walk will be at the nearby Cobblestone Inn. Registration starts at 9:30 and closes at 9:50. (Click here for an explanation of walk ratings.)
