EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

I see that this program is waitlisted. How does one go about getting on the waitlist?

$1,000 a day! When did Road Scholar start catering to the wealthy? Too expensive for the average retiree.

This particular program was created at the request of participants. Road Scholar continues to offer The One and Only Kentucky Derby!, program #1463 04/30/13, featuring the Derby race on simulcast at the renowned Keeneland Thoroughbred racetrack. It’s a less expensive program that still allows you to learn all about Derby history from industry experts, immerse yourself in the lives of thoroughbred champions, jockeys, training, racing, and breeding, and examine the world of handicapping strategies and betting terminology. You’ll also enjoy special expressions of Kentucky Bluegrass heritage.
