Cass County is looking for walkers to join local walking clubs. To that end, the county has established meeting places for walking groups in various cities, including:
Remer: The Woodsman Café.
Walker: The Village Square on Minnesota Avenue.
Longville: Empowered Fitness on Hardy Lane.
Pine River: Lifehouse Coffee on Barclay Avenue.
Hackensack: Soulshine Cyclery on Highway 371.
Pillager: Bjerges Café on River Street.
A meeting place and route are still being sought for Backus.
Walking is considered a safe way to get moderate exercise, and walking with others can add a social aspect to the exercise. While the county has marked locations as optimal starting points for local walking clubs, routes pace and friends are up to the walkers themselves.
To get started, the county is recommending 7:30 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The county is looking for area enthusiasts to help motivate and organize others.
