SENIOR GAMES WALK

Expect some hills.
Do the 10 K walk in less than two hours and get a beautiful Senior Games Water Bottle plus we will have some modest food at the end and attendance prizes!

Don Carter will lead so bring your fast walker shoes
I will be the last walker for those who would prefer a lower foot speed.

Bring Water and wear suitable shoes. About half and half on pavement and gravel trail.

The Walk is not on the "Official" Entry Form for the Senior Games. It will be there next year if we get a good turnout this year. Just get the registration packet and fill out the entry form. Write "Walk" on the top of the page. There is a $10.00 registration fee to enter the Flagstaff Senior Games.
I hope to see you all there!
