America’s Walking Club was established to promote and organize noncompetitive fitness activities that encourage lifelong fitness and friendship for all ages and abilities. With active clubs all over the country, one of the sponsored events in Kansas this year is the “Huffin’ & Puffin’ on the High Plains” which will have participants walk across several spots in Central Kansas.
Great Bend Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Christina Hayes was pleased to book the
group in Great Bend May 11-12.
"The group of walkers will walk from Lyons, Ellsworth, Great Bend, Larned, Ellinwood, Russell and Wilson," said Hayes. "What's fun about it is the CVB is working with them to find points of interest so it will be like a walking tour as they walk through our town."
The group of walkers will stay in hotels in Great Bend while being able to
explore the business district, Cheyenne Bottoms and The Wall That Heals
memorial that will be on display at Veterans Park at the time.
