One Day to Go!

Actually, as I write this, we will be setting-up for check-in in less than twelve hours! The weather should be perfect for walking and excitement is building! Here's a link to our walk route, although there will be signs and plenty of people to follow. We hope walkers will begin checking-in around noon - bring your lunch and have a picnic in the church patio before the walk!

Where Do We Walk?

Here's a map of the walk route. Basically, we begin at the First United Methodist on Santa Clara Street near Cabrillo Middle School. From there, we walk downhill :-) to the beach and follow the bikepath along the Promenade, past the Fairgrounds, and north along the Ventura River. At Main Street, we head back toward town but cross the street to Mission Park and turn left, heading north again on Ventura Avenue. We walk up to Project Understanding on Vince and the Avenue (this is a rest stop with restrooms!), then turn around and stay on the same side of the street until we are back on Main Street. Cross to Mission Park and continue heading east through Downtown Ventura. At Chestnut Street, turn right on block, then left on Santa Clara Street. Cross to Plaza Park (another rest stop) and you're on your way to the finish! There will be refreshments and a band to welcome you back where you began - you've just completed a 10K walk and raised money and consciousness to fight hunger's causes as well as giving immediate relief to people who need food!
