Welcome to the Mid-Florida Milers Walking Club
1989 - 2009
Join us as we celebrate our 20th Anniversary in 2009. (You can view some of the club’s History here). As a community member for these 20 years we have planned and conducted over 300 walks in every part of the Orlando Area. We host self paced walk and sometimes bike events in the greater Orlando area for people of all ages. Walking with the club promotes fitness. Our goal is to provide events that can challenge you to keep walking and are fun to walk. We start walks in different locations which is a great way to see the city's many areas and parks.
We have Saturday AM walks on the 1st and third Saturdays, Sunday or Saturday group walks in different locations each month. We conduct these 3 and 6 mile walks over 25 times a year (see Regular Events page) and have 11 pre-laid out, permanent, walks available every day. Here in the Orlando area the permanent walks available daily are in Winter Park, Maitland, Orlando, Lake Buena Vista, Celebration, and Altamonte Springs. We also sponsor three very nice walks in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, and Lake Worth - all starting from Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm. All these are described on our Year Round Events page with pictures of most of them (see how to get to our permanent walks at the Year Round Events page).
The club is associated with AVA, a national walking association which in turn is affiliated with an International group. There are over 13,000 pre-laid out walks available daily in all states. There are Walking Weekend events where clubs sponsor multiple walks in cities. The National Headquarters sponsors a convention every two years.
Join us for a walk and since it is at your pace the 3 or 6 mile distance is "doable". Walk with a club member or be on your own to enjoy the route.
