Aliso Viejo's Walking Program has begun and AV Pals is looking for volunteers!

Summer Walking Program continues Monday








Community members are invited to lace up their tennis shoes, grab some bottled water and join City staff members Monday, July 19 for a walk around Aliso Viejo's Town Center Loop Trail.






The City's Summer Walking Program embraces Aliso Viejo as a "walkable" community and takes participants on the Town Center Loop Trail, which essentially loops around Aliso Viejo Town Center.






The program, which kicked off earlier this month, is from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. July 19 and July 26. The goal is to give people an opportunity to explore and enjoy the scenic trail, get a healthy dose of exercise and make new friends. World-class trainers from the Renaissance ClubSport will lead warm-up exercises.






Participants are encouraged to park and meet at 5:45 p.m. in front of the On the Border restaurant. The eatery, located in Aliso Viejo Town Center near Enterprise, is at 26661 Aliso Creek Road.
