Participants warm up for the start of the 53rd annual Langley walk. The annual event drew more than 800 people to Walnut Grove on a sunny Sunday morning. The walk was started by former recreation director, Pete Swensson, as a way to encourage citizens to become more active.
It was billed as the official start to spring in the Langleys and more than 800 people took part in the 53rd annual Langley Walk in Walnut Grove on Sunday. This year’s event started and finished at Walnut Grove Community Park. The trophy for most walkers from an elementary school went to members of the R.C. Garnet Elementary School team; the award for most walkers from a middle/secondary school went to the H.D. Stafford Middle School group; most walkers from an organization went to Latin Runners; most walkers from a family went to the Humberstone family and the oldest walker award went to 91-year-old R. Tielens. The walk alternates between the Township and the City of Langley, and the public is encouraged to walk, run, or bike a five- or- 10 kilometre route. The event was launched by then-recreation director Pete Swensson with the motto “Walk away your ills, instead of taking pills” and the goal of getting Langley citizens to participate in a fun community activity and have an attainable fitness goal. The first walk covered a route from Aldergrove Park to River Road to Fort Langley, then on to City Park. It was 18 miles long — 28 kms.
