91Ô­´´ City and Township are encouraging people to take part in the longstanding 91Ô­´´ Walk tradition, even as the walk goes virtual this year due to physical distancing requirements.

Organizers are encouraging people to take to the treadmill, do laps around the yard, or walk their neighbourhood or local park trails to participate in the 58th Annual 91Ô­´´ Walk.

If any longstanding participants are joining in on the tradition this year – or anyone signing up for the very first time – people are encouraged to contact the 91Ô­´´ Advance Times to share why they are involved.

Since 1963, the 91Ô­´´ Walk has been hosted in various communities and been presented by the Township of 91Ô­´´ and 91Ô­´´ City to encourage residents to get active and enjoy the great outdoors.

Participants can walk on their own or with members of their own household to complete the 5K, either in one go, or broken up into several sessions.

Residents have until Sunday, May 31 to complete the Walk, and the first 1,000 Walkers to email events@langleycity.ca with their contact information, mailing address, and participant list will be sent a 2020 91Ô­´´ Walk commemorative crest in the mail.

Those who finish their 5K are encouraged to capture the moment and share their stroll by taking a Virtual 91Ô­´´ Walk selfie and posting it on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter using #91Ô­´´Walk.
