Support America’s Walking Club During The Big GiveSA
York White Rose Wanderers is proud to be part of AVA: America’s Walking Club, our national organization that keeps walking trails and programs strong across the country.
Right now, AVA is participating in The Big GiveSA, an online giving event that helps nonprofits raise vital funds. Every donation—big or small—goes directly to supporting AVA’s mission of promoting walking for fun, fitness, and friendship.
If you’ve enjoyed walking with YWRW, please consider making a gift to support our national organization. Your donation ensures that clubs like ours can continue offering walks, maintaining trails, and welcoming new walkers for years to come.

We host non-competitive walking, biking, swimming, and snowshoeing events in the area. Our mission is to provide opportunities for fun, fitness, and friendship and to support local rail trails and park land charitable trusts.

SATURDAY WALKS 2025
The Wanderers have group walks to promote our Year-Round Events, usually on the first Saturday of the month unless there is a holiday or other event on or near the scheduled date, or in case of inclement weather. In that case we usually postpone the walk to the second or subsequent Saturday of the month. Arrive at the Start location anytime between 9 am and 12 pm. Meet up and walk with others or walk alone, whichever you prefer. Contact Gloria Reedy at (717) 495-0518 if you have any questions. Here are the remaining walks for 2025:
