Welcome to Southeast Striders Walking Club!

Southeast Striders Walking Club in Athens, Georgia, is an affiliate of America’s Walking Club (aka American Volkssport Association – www.AVA.org). We are a non-profit organization whose mission is to encourage everyone, regardless of level of fitness, to get out, exercise, and have fun doing it. Our Trailmasters create safe and interesting 5 and 10 kilometer walk events in and around Athens. Our motto is “Fun, Fitness and Friendship”. Our walking activities are open to everyone.

Next Walk:  Saturday, February 7 – North Oconee River Greenway 5K at 10:00am to register, step off at 10:15am to begin the walk. The walk route begins at Dudley Park and uses the Firefly Trail (Rails-to-Trails) to cross the Oconee River.  We then continue along part of the North Oconee River Greenway from Dudley Park to just past the College Avenue bridge over the North Oconee River. The entire 5k route is away from traffic, on a smooth surface with a well-marked trail. There is a great photo op at Rainbow Forest.  This is a non-competitive event.  $4 to walk, $11 for T-shirts.  Join us for lunch at the end of the walk at Weaver D’s Delicious Fine Foods.  Weaver D’s is an Athens tradition and a unique dining experience you don’t want to miss.  Weaver is a James Beard award winner and his Soul Food is consistently rated in the top 5 in the entire state.  POC:  Harold Weber, 904-704-8402 or Marie Weber, 904-703-8403.
