Field trip: GoWalk!: Beginner Urban Walking Series
October GoWalk! Pacing Urban Walks: 2 to 4 miles, 0 to 450 feet of elevation gain - Magnuson Park
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 9AM, ready to go. Please be 15min early. Meet in the large parking lot adjunct and east of the large tennis facility. Meet on the east side near the EV receptacles. I will be near my older white Toyota Tacoma pickup (with canopy).
For those unfamiliar with Magnuson park and this parking lot: arrive at the main entrance (7400 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115) and proceed straight to a stop sign. Turn right to the parking lot.
For Magnuson, we will walk in a loop around the park to explore the diverse sites and landscape. We will wonder near buildings from days of being a military airfield, to multi-use day fields, to woody-marsh-pond areas, to explore seeming remote isolated fields and including a moment to submarines. The backdrop of this will be views above and at lake level of Lake Washington.
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 (a few days) that will provide you with updated details for the outing that you selected.
