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 (3.5-4mph or 16-17minute/mile) for the duration of the hike, with one hydration break at the Emory campus 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 or shoes w/ good tread

Water

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