Scheduled Events for 2024
Registration for scheduled events will be at the event start point unless otherwise specified in the event brochure (see links below). Due to the increasing fee the AVA is charging clubs per walk, we have raised our registration fee to $4 for IVV credit. For walkers not seeking IVV credit (aka “Guest Walkers”), if a person is walking as a first-time guest at one of our group walks, they can walk for free, and the club will pick up the $2 fee for that walk. For any subsequent times they walk with us, they will be required to pay the $2 guest fee.
Please mark your calendars for these upcoming CCWWC walks.
NEXT GROUP WALK
Our next group walk will be the Athens, Alabama YRE on Saturday September 14, 2024 at 9:30 a.m.
Directions to Start Point: Traveling North on I-65 take Exit 351. Travel West on Hwy 72 and continue approximately 1.5 miles. Bear right on Clinton Street and proceed approximately 1 mile. Turn right on Market, then go straight ahead into Big Spring Memorial Park. The start point for the walk is at the Athens Visitor’s Center which is at the park.
(NOTE: Please go straight to the Athens Visitor’s Center rather than the Hampton Inn where the walk box is normally located. Karen will pick up the registration book and stamp pad, etc. from the walk box and bring it over to the Athens Visitor’s Center)
