2010 Trails
Our head trailmaster, Burt Paynter, is at work laying out new routes for
2010.

Our Friday Mayor's Walk will using the new Land Bridge that links
historic Fort Vancouver with the Renaissance Trail on the Columbia River.

The Saturday routes will include a marathon, half marathon, 10K and 5K
route (including the Family Fun 5K Walk). The Family Fun Walk route will
enjoy the Renaissance Trail along the Columbia River as it did last
year. The 10K and half marathon routes will be new and take in more of
the river. The marathon route will be twice-around the half marathon route.

The Sunday routes will be different from 2009, the 21K will be similar
to what was previously used for Saturday.

Our Bikes and Swims will be on Sunday again this year. You can do both
300 meter swims for the cost of only 1 registration. Those who earn IVV
credit will get 2 credits for only the one fee.

To qualify for the Triathlon award, you must do a walk, bike and swim
all on Sunday. Walks on other days no longer count towards the Triathlon
designation.

Event volunteers may register for our Team Discount Rate, which is the
same as the Earlybird Rate. Look for volunteer forms in January.

We will have a new award for the Friday Mayor's Walk.
Those walking Saturday or Sunday will all receive a medal on a neck ribbon.

Walking Jordan: DEP #1: Mar 14-21 * DEP #2: Oct 31-Nov 7  * $2050
One of our newest Adventures offers a camel caravan's load of amazing
cultural experiences! We'll dip into ancient history as we explore the
Old Kingdom pyramids of Giza and Saqqara; gaze spellbound at the wonders
of Tutankhamen's tomb, safeguarded in Cairo's Egyptian Museum; check out
the successors to the pyramids in the Valley of the Kings; and more, as
we set sail up the Nile on our luxury cruise ship, the MS Tower!
Our Adventure through Jordan reflects a mosaic of varying and beautiful
landscapes: ancient Jerash, with ruins still majestic despite decay; the
Dead Sea, its shore crystallized from centuries of salt flows that have
washed its banks; Petra, with its breathtaking sandstone formations in
hues of red, yellow, gray, and orange; and Wadi Rum, possessing the
stark beauty and striking contrasts of the desert world.
