Walk Around Florida 30
The hosts of Walk Around Florida (WAF 30) are saddened to announce that the AVA multi-event weekend scheduled for Nov 6-8 in Daytona Beach has been postponed. Tentatively, the new dates will be Nov 5-7, 2021.
With the new surge in the COVID-19 pandemic across the deep south and especially in Florida, our organizers, in consultation with our hotel and other partners, determined that this is the safest course of action to preserve the public health, the safety of participants and staff, and the AVA’s reputation of “fun, fitness and friendship.”
For everyone with a reservation at the Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach, you can call the hotel at (386) 255-4471. Remember to say “Walk Around Florida 30.” You may either cancel your 2020 reservation or ask them to roll it over to 2021.
Thanks for your support and we hope to see you at the World’s Most Famous Beach in 2021.

What Our Walkers say
Great fun group of active and like minded people. Wish I lived here all year long to enjoy all the group activities, but the winter months will have to suffice for now.
William Fitzgerald
Great fun, seeing new places in the area with a bunch of good people.
