The CB Island Hoppers Walk Committee is in the process of developing the 2014 schedule of Walk Events.
Do you have a favorite trail you want to have on the schedule for next year?
Do you have a suggestion for a new area/trail that we can walk?
Remember, the trail or the area you select must meet the criteria of 10k or more to meet the standards of the Canadian Volkssport Federation. The walk event can be divided up into 5 k segments to allow for the new shorter distances as approved by the CVF.
Your club needs more "Walk Leaders"! Over the past 16 years we have relied to heavily on the same persons each year to fill this function! The more seasoned walk leaders are there to help if you want to take on this challenging adventure!
Come help out, and spice up our walk program!
Due to the extensive walk program we have had for 2013 such as Louisbourg300 and the 42K Marathon in September we will have a very simple but varied walk program for the 2014 season. This will allow the mainland volkssport clubs to do the marathon, bus tours and 25th anniversary celebrations for the Central Nova Club.
WALKING:
“Walking is the first thing an infant
wants to do and the last thing an old person wants to give up.
Walking is the exercise that does not
need a gym.
It is the prescription without
medicine, the weight control without diet, and the cosmetic that can’t be found
in a chemist.
It is the tranquilizer without a
pill, the therapy without a psychoanalyst, and the holiday that does not cost a
penny.
What’s more, it does not pollute,
consumes few natural resources and is highly efficient.
Walking is convenient, it needs no
special equipment, is self-regulating and inherently safe.
Walking is as natural as breathing”
John Butcher, Founder Walk21, 1999
