Welcome! The Happy Wanderers, Mid-Florida Milers and Suncoast Sandpipers invite everyone to the 30th Walk Around Florida, a weekend of volkssports, food and friendship. Start your engines and head to Daytona Beach, renowned for beaches, dunes, parks, and the Daytona 500. Planned are noncompetitive

events, social activities and a special Go the Distance! Challenge for kids. WAF30 organizers recommend attendees be fully vaccinated and request that all at-tendees respect current CDC guidelines regarding masks and social distancing.

Our Events. Everyone is welcome to attend WAF30 events! The hosts are volkssport clubs whose members may earn credit towards distance and event achievements as they walk, bike and swim. For more information on volkssports, ask at start points. However, it’s not necessary to participate for credit.

General Policies. Events are held rain or shine! We cannot make refunds for no shows. Water will be on hand at walk starts and checkpoints but a Florida fall can be warm; please carry water. See walk descriptions for pet eligibility.

Accommodations. WAF30 headquarters is the Plaza Resort & Spa, Daytona Beach FL. Rates are $106 for basic rooms (sunset/city-side), $116 (coastal/partial view), $126 (beachside). The link for basic rooms is: http://bookings.ihotelier.com/bookings.jsp?groupID=2755034&hotelID=96954

For longer stays/upgrades (subject to availability) or more hotel info, call 866-500-5630 and say Walk Around Florida. Rates include self-parking and resort fees, not taxes.

Registration. Preregistration is required for the Sat dinner and is en-couraged for walk/swim events (see registration form and waiver). On Fri, Nov 5, you’ll receive an Activity Card showing what you’ve paid for. Please present card at every event and checkpoint. If not preregistered, you may sign up for all events on Fri afternoon and receive the Activity Card. On Sat, Nov 6, and Sun, Nov 7, unregistered participants sign up at the walk starts. Kids (12 & under) sign up for the Go the Distance! Challenge at walk starts.

Wining & Dining. On Fri, Nov 5, after the Daytona Beach walk, break out the Happy Hour gear as we meet at the lobby bar for a no-host social mixer (happy hour is 5-7 p.m.). We’ll have a list of nearby recom-mended restaurants (so many!) for dinner. On Sat, Nov 6, we’ll meet at the lobby bar again for some speedway photo ops at 6, then it’s a short lap to
