Want a novel way to welcome the new year? Kick start your waist loss resolution by walking in the new year.
At 11 p.m., the Texas Volkssport Association will host a wine-and-cheese social hour before the traditional Midnight Walk.
This is a 10-kilometer guided walk (a 5-kilometer walk is available). Everyone will leave promptly at midnight. No one will be allowed to leave after 12:30 a.m., and all participants must be back no later than 3:30 a.m.
This walk’s genesis goes back to the mid-1980s when a few volkssporters started this tradition as a way to “walk in the New Year.” It has continued and grown since then. People come from around the country to participate in this special event.
Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Pets are to be kept on a leash at all times and are not allowed in the building. Disclaimers for the walk event must be signed. Restrooms will be available at the start/finish location.
The midnight walking trail, which covers city streets, is suitable for strollers, but because of night visibility concerns, it is unsuitable for wheelchairs. Participants must carry flashlights.
The events will begin from St. Joseph’s Hall in the 200 block of West San Antonio Street.
