FREE!  Weekly fitness walks are open to the community. The walks are lead by KVW members who want to share the fun of walking with others.  Walks are for those who walk a moderate to fast pace ( 14 minute mile or faster ). Slower walkers should bring a walking partner to walk your pace.  Come walk with us !
