Boulder Walk 180: Eastern Half of the Slow Marathon

TYPE: Urban Hike | PACE: Fitness | TERRAIN: Sidewalks, Multi-Use Paths, Dirt Trails | DISTANCE: Approx 13 miles |

Walk Description: Our second 180-degree adventure traverses the eastern half of the Boulder Walk 360 Slow Marathon, closing the loop! This urban hike links the Table Mesa Shopping Center with the East Boulder Recreation Center, Valmont Bike Park, and the North Boulder Art District. We'll take breaks along the way and have lunch together at the end. See this link for a map of the route: https://caltopo.com/m/MFBJ

Schedule and Planning: We will meet at 8:00 am out in front of the Neptune Mountaineering Cafe in the Table Mesa Shopping Center. The cafe opens at 7:30 am, so arrive early to use the restroom and/or buy a coffee or tea. This urban hike is 13 miles, so it should take us about 5 hours to complete (with breaks). I suggest parking in North Boulder near the end point and taking the SKIP bus down Broadway to the starting place. You can also take the bus back down to the Table Mesa Shopping Center at the end if you want to park at the starting place.

Walking Movement Leaders: This Walk 180 will be led by long-time Boulder Ramblers, Robin and Sarah, who know the route inside-out! Darcy will be helping out in a support role but not leading. You can send any questions about the Walk 180s to Darcy at besturbanhikesboulder@gmail.com, or text her at (720) 805-8293.
