Come join the Nerdy Walking Club where we spend an hour each week out in nature enjoying the weather, walking and talking about our favorite fandoms. This club is meant for those who want to add a little exercise to their routine in a fun and inclusive way by gaining experience points and levels and all are welcome to join!
We will be meeting once a week (Mondays or Tuesdays) from May 5th – August 15th at 6 PM at the gazeebo next to the playground at Little Beaver State Park. We will be adding a channel in our Discord server called “Nerdy Walking Club” as well as add the event on the BAND app under Causeacon. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
This year’s summer event is “Gnome-A-Geddon”! Some cheeky gnomes have escaped a local farm near by and are causing havoc at the park. For each session in-person session you join us for the Nerdy Walking Club, you will receive a gnome sticker. Collect all 9 gnomes to earn an extra prize! This event is not required by any club member and is option. Supplies are limited to the first 50 participants.

Comfortable shoes and clothes for walking and a water bottle. It might be a good idea to apply sunscreen or bug spray depending on the weather.
We will be walking the loop trail which goes around the lake and is approximately 1.1 miles. Typically we walk the loop twice, but you can do as much as you are able.
No, you can come only when you want to. Those who wish to particiapate in our summer event (Gnome-A-Geddon) will need to attend multiples times to comlete the event, but it is not manditory.
Yes! If you want to walk more than at our Monday meet ups, you can keep track of your own miles walked through an app tracker on your smart phone. Send us a screenshot of your miles for the day/week and we will add them to your stats and club cards which get updated every week. You can submit the screen shot through Facebook Messenger, Email (Causeaconwv@gmail.com) or Discord.
For every mile you walk, during the meetups or on your own, you will gain 1 level to your characters. Just send us a screenshot of your digiral miles using any step tracker app or fit bit style watch and we will add the stats to our membership list.
We will assess the weather leading up to the 6 PM meet up time. We won’t walk during thunderstorms, but we will walk in light rain. Just bring a rain jacket, poncho or umbrella!
While we encourage all ages to join us for the walking club, it is important to remember that there are some uneven spots (rocks and roots from trees) as well as a small incline and stone steps to walk down. Please use your own discretion if you have any restrictions. We can also modify the walking trail for those who need assistance.

As someone who has struggled my whole life with my weight and exercise, I wanted to start doing something good for my health. So, why not invite others who feel the same to join me? – Dezi
