Posted on Dec 13 2004
The Saipan Walking Association, Inc., in cooperation with the Marianas Visitors Authority, would be holding its 2004 Christmas in the Marianas Walk on Saturday, Dec. 18.
The walking activity will start at 5:30pm from the Chamolinian Cultural Village and will take participants from the Garapan landmark to the Oleai area in San Jose and back for the 10-kilometer walk. A shorter 5km course is also being offered for children.
“As we prepare for the Yuletide season, once again, we would like to invite the public to join our annual Christmas walk,” said SAIWAI officer and walk coordinator Mario K. Espeleta. “The event is the last edition of our 2004 ‘people sport-walking activity’ and we are privileged and honored if people come out and join the walk.”
A registration fee of $10 will be charged from each participant, which will entitle walkers to a beautiful event T-Shirt. Free refreshments and fireworks will also highlight the night after the walk, said Espeleta.
Like all SAIWAI activities, the International Federation of Popular Sports or IVV will be sanctioning the Christmas in the Marianas Walk.
IVV members will also receive credit for joining the event. The IVV has member-walking clubs in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Nepal, Australia, New Zealand, the CNMI and 29 other European countries.

SAIWAI was incorporated as a non-profit corporation on July 27, 2001 and was established to promote public health through non-competitive walking.
