Field trip: GoWalk!: Beginner Urban Walking Series
October GoWalk! Pacing Urban Walks: 2 to 4 miles, 0 to 450 feet of elevation gain - Union Bay Natural Area
GoWalk! Pace Urban Walks are low-stress activities to help you determine where you are in terms of gear, the pace (1.5 - 2 mph) and distance you can complete comfortably, and what your season goals for conditioning and walking are, so that you can determine what level of walks and pace would be the best fit for you to sign up for - no pressure, no judgment!

Meet at in the water fountain in the Soest Garden next to the parking lot at the University of Washington (UW) Center for Urban Horticulture at 0845 and ready to walk at 0900. More info will be sent out in a "hello hiker" email a few days before the walk. I look forward to meeting everyone and exploring Union Bay and UWashington (athletic field areas). I'm sure we will see many of its residents (and migrants) in their natural environment (we can cheer for our UW students too!!).
Participation in 1 pacing hike is required for all GoWalk! participants.
Pacing hikes will be offered in October and will open for registration on September 13 at 12:00 pm. Register for only one pace walk. Pacing walks assist you in setting goals and action steps for your urban walking season and for achieving them. They also give you an opportunity to assess your gear and clothing options.
Required Equipment
You will receive a Hello Walker email from your trip leader prior to your selected urban walk that will provide you with details for the outing that you selected.
