Some clubs provide you with a map or written directions of the trail. Before you start on the trail, take time to look around the start area. This is where you will turn in your start card when you finish. There might be a table with sales items on it. These could be club T-shirts, pins, patches, and books.
Some clubs also sell food at their walks.
Sometimes it's wurst and hot dogs and sometimes it's cookies and cake. On hot days you should always take a bottle of water with you. You might want to use the restrooms before you start the walk. The start location at most walks has restrooms. I learned that many people want to help.
