What are "Year-Round Events"?
Asheville Amblers' 21 Year-Round events may be walked daily, January 1 through December 31. The walks are self-guided. Registration information and walk maps are obtained at start points - public locations like visitor centers and hotels. Any Year-Round walk that lasts less than a full year is called a Seasonal Walk.How do I get started on a Year-Round Event (YRE)?
Maps for each event are available at the START POINT and the ALTERNATE START POINT, as indicated for the individual events. Fill out the Registration Log which is located with the Log Sheet. Some walks have the option of using an On-Line Start Box (OLSB).What are scheduled monthly "Club Walks"?
Monthly Asheville Amblers walks are scheduled on Saturdays. The walks normally have options for both 10K (6.2 miles) and 5K (3.1 miles) lengths. It’s a wonderful group activity where you will meet all kinds of other walkers traveling the same course. Since there is no competition, you walk at your own speed.What are "Traditional Walks"?
Traditional events are offered for a specific time, usually one day or a weekend. They are held at locations other than the Year-Round and Group walks' sites.
