Celebrating its thirtieth year, the Illinois-Trekkers is a walking (volksporting) club. We hold 10-12 large walking events each year as well as smaller group walks in the St. Clair County area. Our walks are non-competitive and give you the opportunity to choose your level of completion. People can start at any level and feel successful. You may walk alone or with a group.         

Walking only 30 minutes 5 times a week can help prevent heart attacks, high cholesterol, depression, colon cancer, breast cancer, gallstones, type 2 diabetes and lower your stress level. Let Illinois-Trekkers be a tool to help you achieve the healthy lifestyle you deserve. Who says walking is boring? We bring fun, fitness and friendship to the spirit of walking!
