Oregon Walking Clubs Directory
Oregon's diverse topography and numerous national, state, and local parks are a godsend for walkers and hikers, residents and tourists alike. It is hardly surprising, then, that there are over twenty walking clubs thriving throughout the state. In addition to helping walkers of all ages and ability find compatible partners to walk with, these clubs provide competitive walking venues and fund-raising events, as well as generally promote and encourage fitness in the community.
The Oregon walking clubs directory is organized by city and contains addresses, contact names, phone numbers, e-mails, and websites whenever available. It is entirely possible that other Oregon walking clubs, of which we are unaware, exist. Submit any additions or corrections via our contact page, and we will update the information in this directory promptly.
