Advanced: Workout Wednesday on the Stairs in Silver Lake

Sorry for the short notice!

This is a fast paced hike. We will not wait to regroup and there is no sweep! By signing up for this hike, you agree to those terms!

Please join your fellow stairclimbers as we do another Workout Wednesday Stair Climb. This time we're going to Silver Lake. Route is about 4.5 miles. We'll do 14 staircases overall, 12 going up and 2 going down. The staircases all come one right after the other, like the three part Swan, the two part Landa!

We do not run but go at a fast pace. We do not wait for people at the top of staircases. If you are not able to keep pace with the group you are on your own to get back to the start.

Meeting Time:

Please arrive at Lamill by 6:30pm for introduction

We will start the hike at 6:45pm SHARP. Please don't arrive at 6:43 and expect the group to wait for you to use the restroom.

Walk will finish within 1.5 hours.

There is free parking on West Silver Lake Blvd.- the signs say no parking after 11pm, so that doesn't apply, and other streets east and west of Silver Lake Blvd.

Paid street meter parking on Silver Lake Blvd.

Pace- Please be honest about your conditioning level!

We will walk at a fast, workout type pace. This mean we do not stop and wait for people at the top of staircases and there will not be any rest stops. We do not run.

You are responsible for keeping up with the pace of the group.

If you are unable to keep up with the group, you are on your own to get back to the starting point.

Reminders:

All walks should be treated as a workout.

No crashers- Please sign up for this event. Please do not just show up.

RSVP limits are set, because too many people creates a bottleneck on the stairs.

Please keep your RSVP updated and current. Repeated No Shows may lead to members being removed from the group.

If your plans have changed, please change your RSVP ASAP, so those on the waitlist can be given enough notice!

There usually are no restrooms along these walks. Restrooms are usually only available at the starting point of the walks.

Bring plenty of water and sunscreen.

Always wear running/tennis shoes. Open toed shoes are not a good idea for these stairs walks.
