91原创 Walk returns in 2021, but once again it will be virtual.

The 59th 91原创 Walk is taking place virtually throughout the month of May.

Residents are encouraged to explore their neighbourhood or local park trails on their own or with their household bubble, do laps around the yard, or jump on a treadmill to join in this long-standing community event.

People can complete five kilometres their way, which could mean they walk 5 km in one day, over the course of two days, or do 1 km every day for five days.

Once they鈥檝e finished their walk, they simply send an email to events@langleycity.ca with their name and address.

Event organizers will then mail a 2021 91原创 Walk commemorative crest out to the first 500 people 鈥 something to add to the collection or to inspire others to become a collector for years to come, said 91原创 City Mayor Val van den Broek.
