BOOKLET REVISED AS OF AUGUST 2016. The Sunriver Pathways are now closed. In it's place, the new seasonal 2016 Government Camp walk may be walked before October 31, 2016. This seasonal has been renewed for 2017.

The challenge began on January 1, 2016, and will end December 31, 2016.  It was created as a great way to experience CRVC's twenty year-round events (YRE) and to promote walking, fun and friendship. We hope you find this challenge fun and inspiring.  This challenge is open to ANYONE who has an interest in walking. 

THE CRVC 20 in '16 CHALLENGE:
Walk all twenty CRVC YREs in 2016, five km minimum, each. All walks MUST be walked in 2016 to be eligible for this challenge.  The purpose of the challenge is to introduce the participant to all 20 of our CRVC YREs that have been sanctioned for 2016.  Hence the name, “20 in ‘16”.

SUBMIT THIS BOOKLET BY JANUARY 02, 2017.
Fill out your name and contact information.  After completing each walk, enter the distance and date walked.  When the challenge has been met, either:

a) scan or photograph the inside of this booklet, attach it to an email and sent it to: (see back of the challenge booklet).

​b) mail the booklet to: CRVC, attn Leslie W. (see back of the challenge booklet.)

WIN A PRIZE!
Names from completed booklets received will be entered in a drawing for one grand prize of a $50 REI gift certificate at the January 09, 2017, CRVC member meeting.  One entry will be made for EACH completed booklet submitted.

Other prizes may be awarded for the first completed booklet received, the most km walked, number of times the challenge is completed ... who knows?!

NOTE: This challenge is a CRVC-sponsored event, NOT an AVA-sanctioned challenge.  Please DO NOT send completed booklets to the AVA.

CENTRAL OREGON ADVENTURE

Subject: [CRVC] Central Oregon Adventure

Back at the November meeting -- remember that, so long ago? -- we talked about going to Central Oregon as an opportunity to become familiar with those walks, as well as marking off 5 CRVC walks in the 20 Walks in 2016 game. (These walks will also qualify for OSTVA's challenge.)

We will be doing the walk at Eagle Crest in Redmond the afternoon of Thursday, January 7th. Friday and Saturday we will do walks in Bend (2) and Sunriver. On the way home Sunday, we will walk in Sisters. 

Since there are 5 walks and 4 days, you will get to do 2 walks one day. (There are not 5k options for all of the walks.)

People have been making reservations at the Days Inn (free breakfast) in Bend for Thursday through Saturday nights. 

Carpooling is a great idea.

I am not going to plan meal times. If someone has a particular place they'd like us to go one night, they can be in charge of counting heads and making reservations. 

Hoping you'll join us!
