FULL DISCLOSURE:

This is a FAST-PACED HIKE, so if you have mobility issues, are recovering from injury, or prefer a slower pace, 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 brisk pace (<17 minute/mile = 3+ miles per hour) to get our blood pumping over the 4.7 mile roundtrip hike, while we enjoy the ever-present wildlife and lovely views.

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 tread

Water

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Camera

Trekking poles

Snack

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

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

Notes:

1. Only AOC members who are in good standing and have signed their annual waiver may sign up for, and participate in, this event.

2. Please, no guests and +Ones!

3. 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 ONE HOUR before the start of the event.

* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.

Cost Includes:

There is no cost for this event!

Cancellation/Partial Attendance: Please review the AOC cancellation policy.
*Note:

If Life happens, and you need to cancel, please go to the AOC website and deregister by the deadline. If after the deadline, please TEXT or leave a voicemail at 4O4 7-five-4 5OO5. BTW, calling me at the last minute is futile because thanks to those annoying robocalls, my phone does not ring for unknown numbers.
