Be a WOWZER

NEW!  Walk club expands to Bend, Oregon

Bend REI — Put a Little Group Spirit in Your Step

The WOW Walk Club kicks off Saturday, May 1st at REI Bend. WOW Walk Club hosted by REI Bend delivers a program of organized group fitness walks, online guidance and the motivation that comes from walking with others. "The team spirit offered by the club provides the energy and accountability to keep walkers motivated and committed, making new walking friends, and having fun" says Judy Heller, master race walker and founder of Wonder of Walking. Weekly Saturday club gatherings take members on walks through the Old Mill, downtown Bend and along the Deschutes River.
