Our last traditional walk for 2025 is the Holiday walk starting at the Gazebo for the DC Booth Fish Hatchery in Spearfish. This is a group walk that starts at 1 pm so please come early to register for the walk so we can start on time. After the walk we will take in the festivities at the Hatchery (to include Santa).
We will start the New Year with another group walk on January 1st at the Alex Johnson Hotel downtown Rapid City. Please come early to register as we start walking at 1 pm. We want to start the New Year with our healthy resolutions in mind.
The Deadwood Gambol walk is open again. Please ask for the walk binder at the lobby desk.
The next BHVA Board meeting is on Monday, November 17th at 5 pm at the Rapid City Public Library in the Conference Room (just to the right of the front door as you enter the library).
