FULL DISCLOSURE:

This is a FAST-PACED HIKE (15-16 min/mile = 3.75 to 4 mph), so if you prefer a slower pace, have mobility issues, or are recovering from injury, please sit this one out!

That said, RAIN or SHINE, we'll hike the refurbished South Peachtree Creek boardwalk from MEDLOCK PARK to the Candler Lake loop (on the Emory campus) and back. We'll maintain a FAST pace (3.5-4mph or 16-17minute/mile) for the duration of the hike, with one hydration break at Candler Lake. The majority of the hike is on a wooden boardwalk or concrete path, with some sections on gravel, dirt etc., so wear appropriate footwear.


Required Items to Bring:

Weather appropriate gear
Hiking boots/shoes w/ good traction
Water, and
Your SOH (sense of humor)

Recommended Items to Bring:

How to Get There:
Event Directions:

I will email detailed directions a day or two before the hike.


Notes:

1. Please, no unregistered guests or +Ones!

2. Late cancellations, particularly within 36 hours of the event, make it difficult for those on the waitlist to attend. Please be courteous to your fellow AOC members and cancel with as much notice as possible.

3. If you need to get in touch, the best way is to TEXT me with your NAME. FYI, thanks to those annoying robocalls, calling me will send you to my voicemail, but feel free to leave a message.

4. I usually hike RAIN-or-SHINE! However, in case of severe weather or other unforeseen emergencies that warrant a cancellation, I will text/email you at least TWO HOURS before the start of the event.

Thanks to Kiran for allowing me to copy this event description.
