Itinerary:

Let's enjoy the beautiful Spring weather! Join me for an evening walk down the Beltline and a beer or a bite afterwards at Park Tavern.

We'll meet at the 10th Street and Monroe Dr NE entrance of the Beltline, across from Piedmont Park. Our route will take us along the Eastside Trail from the park, through Old Fourth Ward and Inman Park, all the way to Irwin Street, where we will explore the stores of the Krog Street Market. Then we will turn around and head back to the park.

The total distance will be about 4-5 miles. The trail is paved and very populated the entire way. The pace will be a steady 2.5+ miles/hour. Please make sure you are able to keep a steady pace with us for 4+ miles.

Please be aware that we must stick together as a group. If you desire to do your own thing and not stick with the group, this is not the event for you. Please be sure to bring a flashlight. If you are uncomfortable walking back to your car afterwards, the trip leader will be happy to escort you.
