Now in its 13th year, the ECHO Walking Festival is organised by town promoters and Sport Bay of Plenty/Sport Waikato District Coordinators in the participating towns and districts.  The goals of the festival are:

To enable local residents to take part in walks in their local parks and reserves.

To highlight the benefits of regular exercise.

To increase awareness and use of local parks and reserves.

To promote local tourism.

Festival organisers, along with the Virtually on Track team want to encourage all New Zealanders to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, to appreciate the attractions of our region, and to keep fit and active.    As part of ECHO 2016, there are some great walks and adventures taking place on the Virtually on Track gem sites.  Registrations are essential so please click on the links to ensure you can sign up and don't miss out on a place.  You will also find further details on walk times and grades.
