(DALIANNEWS)– The annual Dalian International Walking Festival has been held for 12 years in succession with over 200,000 participators each year. However, many walking lovers do not enjoy themselves to the full with only one walking festival every year, so Dalian Walking Association, Outdoor Spring ·China, and China Exploration Association Dalian Branch launched an autumn walking activity last year. Compared with the walking festival in May, this activity is much more like a “walking buffet” organized by walking lovers. They post the call-up on the internet, plan the route, appoint the departure time, and elect volunteers to serve the participators. The varied walking routes make participators satisfy a craving for outdoor activities.

According to the city’s walking association, the autumn walking activity is due to be held on October 18 this year. The walking routes are flexible including the 8 km course, 12 km course, and 20 km course. If you are in good health condition and want to challenge yourself, you may try a 60 km or even 100 km course with other four participators aged below 65. And possessing the accident insurance cards are also necessary requirements for the 60 km and 100 km walking routes.
