Hi Florida Walkers,

This E-News is packed full with upcoming events in November!

Next Saturday evening, November 10, the Happy Wanderers will host their 9th Annual Veteran’s Walk in Port Orange. This is a new event; see details below.

Also next weekend, two different group year-round walks are available. On November 10 (Saturday), the First Coast Trail Forgers will host a group walk of their Gainesville/University of Florida year-round trail. And on November 11 (Sunday), and the Happy Wanderers will meet in Port Orange to walk their year-round trail there (a different trail than the Saturday Port Orange walk).

The Mid-Florida Milers will host their next walk November 17 on the Cady Way Trail in Orlando. This is a unique walk in which walkers will be chauffeured to the end of the trail, where they will then walk the 10K (6 miles) back to the registration area where they left their car. Of course, if you want to walk 20K (13 miles), you can start at the registration area and walk both ways! A 5K (3 miles) trail will also be available. Details are below.

The Mid-Florida Milers also want club members and friends to reserve their spot at the Mid-Florida Milers Annual Holiday Dinner. See your special invitation below!

The Trinity Trekkers of Texas are returning to Orlando on November 23, 24, 25 to host walks at Disney World! Two different walks can be walked any of the three days and will go into all 4 parks. There is a special package if you want to stay in the resort and get a great discount on Disney passes. To walk the trails, you must have tickets into the parks. Pre-registration for the special resort package ends on November 17, so contact David Toth at TrinTrek@sbcglobal.net or 210-521-8684, if you are interested in the package. He will send you the details you need for booking. You can also call GeTTravel, which is handling the reservations at 1-888-877-4445. The special package includes 3-night accommodations at Disney’s All Star Sports Resort, a 3-day Theme Park hopper ticket, registration for both walks and the commemorative medal. If you contact David Toth or GeTTravel, they will tell you the price.

Disney does offer special discounts to Florida residents for multi-day tickets if you don’t need or want accommodations. Check out Disney.com for that kind information.

If you have the package, multi-day hopper park tickets, or seasonal/annual passes, and want to have a fun weekend walking in and enjoying Disney parks, then see details of the walks below.

For those who want a different walk that same weekend (which, by the way, is Thanksgiving weekend), the Meandering Manatees want you to know that they are hosting their Post-Turkey Trot at Oscar Scherer State Park, Osprey on November 23 & 24. Details below.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to write to me!

Happy Trails,

Letty
