Itinerary:

Beat the heat and get your 10K steps in early on this lovely intown trail. We'll pick up the Heritage Park trail that parallels Nickajack Creek all the way to the Concord Wollen Mills, at which point we hop onto the Silver Comet trail to Hicks Road, then return on the Silver Comet to our cars. Easy Peasy!

This trail has only 450+ elevation gain and is good for advanced beginners and above. If you can maintain a brisk 2.5 to 3 mph (20 - 24 minute/mile) pace, you're in!

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

I will email participants the exact meeting location and detailed directions a few days before the event.

Notes:

Please, no unregistered guests or +Ones!

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.

If you need to get in touch with me, the best way is to TEXT me with your NAME at 4O4 7-Five-4 5OO5.

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.

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

Cost Includes:

There is no cost for this event.

If Life happens, and you need to cancel, please go to the AOC website and deregister by the deadline. If the site will not cooperate, TEXT me with your NAME at 4O4 7-Five-4 5OO5. FYI, thanks to those annoying robocalls, calling me will send you to my voicemail, but feel free to leave a message.
