SAVE THE DATE!

Participants from as many as 42 nations will attend the three-day festival that normally attracts more than 5,000 walking enthusiasts. The Olympiad will be held in conjunction with the Texas Trail Roundup - another international event cosponsored by America’s Walking Club’s Texas state association and the International Marching League (IML)*. This arrangement will afford international travelers the opportunity to spend a full week or more experiencing the best San Antonio and the USA have to offer. The back-to-back festivals are timed to showcase one of the most uniquely American of sporting events – San Antonio’s award-winning annual Stock Show & Rodeo.
