Volkswalking 20th anniversary at MHCC
MHCC District Board Member
Need some exercise? Want to have fun? Try a volkswalking event May 2 and 3 at Mt Hood Community College! You are welcome to join the East County Wind Walkers of Gresham who are offering a free event beginning anytime from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday for all ages.
Volkswalking is a noncompetitive sport done worldwide that offers exercise at your own rate of speed for the whole family. It is an adventure in health, recreation, fellowship and fun that evolved from Germany. Two routes of 3.1 miles and 6.2 miles will be held this weekend with a finish time of 4 p.m. An added feature is walking through the art gallery of the college. Featured during this time will be “Soul Buds,” a very special ceramic show celebrating the completion and use of an Anagama Kiln! Because this walk celebrates the 20th birthday anniversary for our walking club, treats for everyone and two gift certificates for lucky participants will be available. Any child 12 and under who completes a volkswalk can choose a free hatpin or B award. It’s an event not to be missed!
For additional information, please go to www.eastcountywindwalkers.org and look at Hosted Events, or call Bev Russell at 503-622-6294 or Marleen Looyens at 503-667-5709. We hope to see you there!
