Ormiston Walkathon: Two days to go!

It’s hot in Moose Jaw. The first walkers have arrived and preparations are underway for the Moose Jaw to Ormiston Walkathon on Tuesday, July 25. The departure time was set for 9 am, but in this heat (34 degrees, currently), we may be launching at 6 am on Tuesday. The gang all meets tomorrow at Wakamow campground — watch this space for more updates. Each evening we’ll post with news and photos from our days on the road.

Meanwhile, enjoy these photos of the press the original walkers received in 1967 — we’re hoping for similar coverage this time around!

  1. I wish all the walkers a safe adventure. You are braver and tougher than I ever was or am.
