Walking on Your Own Time

Iowa’s Walking Club designs a variety of walking routes each year that are available to enjoy whenever it’s convenient for you. These walks are available seasonally or year-round and AVA walking credit is available. All of the routes are at least 5K. Clubs in other states offer similar walks that you might enjoy when you’re traveling outside Iowa.

 
To see a list of walks available, go to FIND AN EVENT on the AVA.org website and choose “Search by State” in the top left corner.

 
Questions about walking on your own time and walking for AVA credit? We recommend coming to a club event or monthly meeting to visit with our helpful and knowledgeable members. You don’t have to be a member to attend any of our events.
