WELCOME TO ILLINOIS TREKKERS’

FALL ORCHARD WALK

It started out as a grain farm with a few animals and later became an orchard, hence the name Braeutigam Orchard, but it’s really much more than that.  It’s the 6^th and 7^th generation family farm and their hope is that “Our family farm becomes your family’s farm.”  To that end, they invite you to spend time with them in the orchard picking fruit and vegetables, seeing the farm equipment, visiting the farm animals, and the highlight for kids, playing in Grandpa Lester’s Farmyard Village.  We invited you to join us as we walk through Braeutigam Orchards during their peach season.

Registration starts 8 AM and group walk at 8:30 AM.  Face masks are required!!!  Club will have some for those of us that forget ours at home.

The Illinois Trekkers invite you to join them on a 5k group walk.          Registration 6:15 PM and start walking at 6:30 PM.
5K walk normally takes about 1 hour.

In accordance to AVA guidelines you must wear a mask when registering & please maintain social distancing when walking.

See events for more information.

Hello Walkers,
The board has decided to cancel the remaining March scheduled Illinois Trekkers walks.
Check the website later to determine if the April meeting will be held at the Fairview Heights library. Too early to predict at this time.
Feel free to walk any of the YRE’s at your leisure. Contact the host business where the start box is located to ensure they are open for business.
Continue to use common sense and stay healthy. If you have traveled internationally or on a cruise ship, consider self monitoring for two weeks.

See you on the trail soon.
