Our next 5k/10k walk will be on Saturday, September 15th in Malvern, Iowa. The Start Point will be the Classic Cafe at 315 Main Street. Registration will take place from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The walk is self-paced and takes you through town and points along the Southwest Iowa Art Tour, before heading out for a while on the Wabash Trace Nature Trail. Please return by 1 p.m. The cost is $1.50 for Fun Walkers and $3.00 for those who want to get their books stamped for AVA/IVV credit.
Meetup people: we’re planning on a group walk of the 5k/10k routes starting at 8:30 a.m. The walk is composed of two 5k loops, so walk one or both! Plan on a pace of 3 to 3.5 miles per hour – faster than a stroll, slower than a brisk pace. The trail is well marked and printed directions are available for those who want to walk either faster or slower than the group.
Here’s one of the sights along the trail – another cafe. Rumor has it that there’s a THIRD food stop along the way!
