Iowa's Walking Club promotes physical fitness through non-competitive sporting events. Our events are designed to help community members have fun, become fit, and make friends. We hope you'll join us! Club membership is not required to participate in our events.
Weekly Walks
Outdoor Walks around Central Iowa
Beginning in April, a group meets each week in a different location to walk and socialize. These walks are free, guided, and last about an hour. They are a terrific way to get to know other walkers. Details are also available on Facebook. Weekly walks are not eligible for awards or special programs. The outdoor weekly walking season kicks off on April 1 with Walking Week. If you have an idea for a weekly walk, or for more information, contact Nancy Dunbar at (515) 710-9107.

Monthly Club Meeting
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.
