Meetup page closed, but we’re still here!
After many years of meeting new people and sharing great events, our club made the difficult decision to close the Meetup page “Walk Omaha for fun, fitness and friendship”. Simply put, we were priced out of being able to maintain the page.
If you’re coming here from Meetup, be sure to take a look at all the events that we have coming up at our Events Page at https://nebraskatrailblazers.com/events/
You’ll note that only club members can attend the Slattery Vintage Estates Vineyard event on September 6th (info at https://nebraskatrailblazers.com/event/slattery-vintage-estates-vineyard-walk/ ) Or, that only club members can get early access to the Fairview Cemetery tour on October 19th (info at https://nebraskatrailblazers.com/event/club-member-early-access-fairview-cemetery-tour/ )

Save the dates for all of our 2025 walks!
All of the walks that we have planned so far are listed on our Walk and Event Listing page, also accessible through our Walks and Events menu. Each event has a handy link at the bottom of the page to add it to your Google, iCalendar or Outlook calendars. You can even subscribe to our entire event calendar by using the “Subscribe to Calendar” button in the bottom right side of any Walk and Event Listing page.
We’ve even created a booklet, suitable for printing, at our 2025 Walk Booklet page. Please note that the booklet will not be updated during the year; you’ll have to grab a pencil and mark up any printed copy as things change. And we already have a couple of changes in the works!
Our first walk of the year will be our traditional Soup Walk, to be held in the hills of Florence, one of Nebraska’s oldest cities and now part of Omaha. All of the details are available at https://nebraskatrailblazers.com/event/annual-soup-walk-5k-and-10k/ Grab a couple of cans of soup, your walking shoes and we’ll see you there!
