UPDATEWe have a slight change in walk location. We were advised by the City of Ventura on 4/24 that they had inadvertently double-booked the Ventura Middle Promenade for May 12.

NEW LOCATION: PROMENADE PARK by Surfer’s Point (Figueroa St & Promenade, Ventura 93001) where Figueroa Street meets the beach.

Parking:There is more parking available at Surfer's Point (although anyone who does end up parking in the four-story structure just south of Crowne Plaza can still have their parking tickets validated by Aloha Steakhouse (for free parking).  You will then only have to walk up 0.25 miles to reach our new site.

TIPS: As the weather has been fluctuating from warm to hot to cool, we recommend that you dressed in layers.  Don’t forget to put on sunscreen or wear a hat/cap/visor.  Wear comfortable shoes and make sure you drink plenty of water during the walk.

GREAT STRIDES is a 10K or 6.2 miles walk along the boardwalk in beautiful Ventura. Check in begins at 9AM. Walk will begin at 10AM.  The walk will generally last about 1½ hours.

Enjoy continental breakfast after registration, warm up exercises to limber up the joints and then off on a leisure walk with fellow participants and walk teams. Afterwards, come back and join us for a delicious BBQ lunch.

Don’t forget about the Silent Auction.  Auction items include: gift baskets, wines, restaurant gift certificates, jewelries, mini get-aways, and much much more!
