The Illinois Trekkers with other walkers are ready to step off on a traditional walk on a very hot day.

The Illinois Trekkers walked the 5k route that took walkers to “the Hill”.

Walkers were glad to be in the Mall to walk with the heat advisory for the area continuing.

Air conditioninf felt good compared to the outside temperatures.

Three Mile Thursday group walk has been moved to St. Clair Square Mall due to the excessive heat & heat advisory.  Registration at 5:45 PM at Walgreen in Fairview Heights.

The rain stayed away so walkers could enjoy all the great sites in Forest Park.

Forest Park has so many wonderful nature sites to enjoy.

Walkers stopped to take many pictures along the walk.

A great walk to enjoy. Thank you to DeAnn Brown who led the Illinois Trekkers on the walk.
