Our One-Hour Race Walks are only two weeks away! Have you registered yet?
If not, head on over to bytownwalkers.ca to get your entry form!

In a throwback to our sport's past, when races were timed by the hourly chiming of church bells, you will be challenged to see how far you can walk in one hour. A youth Quarter-Hour challenge is also offered.
