The ECHO Walking Festival

About Us

Now in it’s fourth year, the ECHO Walking Festival is organized by town promoters, Information Centres, Sport Waikato District Sport Co-ordinators in the participating towns and districts, and the Department of Conservation.

Our goals 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

 

Through the Festival, we want to encourage all NZers to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, to appreciate the attractions of our region, and to keep fit and active.
