Susan - if you are interested in starting a walking group, contact me for a run-down of ideas on how to go about it.
Corgis over seven months old can easily walk/run for two hours-three hours (though until a Corgi is 12 months old, I wouldn't suggest too many regular wallks of this distance). The walk/run part of our group meeting on Sunday should take around 75 minutes, then you add in afternoon tea, Corgi time play - fighting and wrestling and chasing - and swimming time then you've got a good two and a half hours.
Corgis go better with Basset Hounds rather than Dachshunds because Bassets can walk - a bit slower, granted - for just as long as Corgis can.
A group of Corgis walking basically together, catches the eyes of the public. It's difficult not to be amused by the sight. And of course you get all this mingling of different colours and tailed Cardis and tailless Pems and a whole bunch of erect ears and happy faces.
But an extended walk with just two or three Corgis is a great experience for handler and dog.
