Third Maple City Walk will showcase Pumpkinvine fall colors

The third Maple City Walk will be held Saturday, October 15, 2011. Again this year, the route will feature the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail as the core of its 13.1 mile course, which is equivalent to a half-marathon.

Registration begins at 7:15 at the powerhouse on the Millrace Trail by the Farmers Market, 212 W. Washington Street, Goshen, IN and the walk starts at 8 am. Parking is available in the city lots on 3rd Street. Cost is $15 for preregistration and $20 the day of the walk. Register on-line after August 15 at http://www.facebook.com/l/hAQADexP_AQDEmiw91mTLiqBu28y1vBgRLqz6NtFgo5NkbA/www.cityonthego.org.

Fall is a magical time on the Pumpkinvine,” said Julia Gautsche, chair of the planning committee. “Walkers have a great time walking and enjoy wonderful fall colors at the same time.”

Every participant who completes the walk will receive a Maple City Walk medal and be entered into a drawing for a free pair of walking shoes.
