Happy New Year!
2026 is shaping up to be a fantastic walking year as we celebrate the USA’s 250th Anniversary and AVA’s 50th Anniversary, with special walking events planned throughout the year. More information can be found in December TAW.
In addition, ESCV will continue to offer a full schedule of Year-Round and Seasonal walks and bike events, along with Wednesday Walks, Traditional Walks, and Traveling Guided Walks—providing many opportunities to get out and enjoy fun, fitness, and friendship together all year long.
Please be sure to mark your calendars for the Empire State Capital Volkssporters Northeast Weekend: May 16–20, 2026
Walk the Story That Changed the World
This event will feature walks highlighting locations connected to the British invasion of New York during the Revolutionary War. Planned activities include a Meet & Greet, a group dinner, and a scenic cruise on Lake George.More information is available on escvwalks.org website.
FYI: Please note a date and location change for Oktoberfest — it will now be held on Saturday October 10, 2026, at Tawasentha Park.
May the New Year bring you good health, happy miles, and many opportunities to participate in our walking/bike events. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating this milestone year!
Looking forward to seeing you at an upcoming walking event,
