Hall Bend Trail Walk 5K/10K w/ETW, Saturday, January 24th, 9:00/10:00am
Details
What: Join the East Tennessee Wanderers for a walk along the Hall Bend Trail in Lenoir City (near the north end of Tellico Lake). Use "Hall Bend Trailhead" for GPS. The 5K and 10K walks will have some moderate elevation (rated 2C and 3C respectively) changes as we walk along the shores of Tellico Lake. Both walks are on natural pathways. We will also plan to have an optional lunch at either the Tellico Village Yacht Club or at Calhoun's in Lenoir City following our walk for those who are interested.
When: Saturday, January 24th, 9:00am start for 10K walkers and 10:00am start for the 5K walkers. Optional lunch from approx. 12:00 to 1:00.
Where: We will meet at the Hall Bend Trail Head, 1.5 miles west on Tellico Parkway (US-444), from US-321, Lenoir City, TN. We will meet in the lower parking area. Look for the "Neon Green Shirts", as we will be your guides for this walk. The optional lunches are at Tellico Village Yacht Club, 100 Sequoyah Rd, Loudon or at Calhoun's Lenoir City, 4550 City Park Dr., Lenoir City.
No Restrooms: There are NO RESTROOMS at the trail head. Please plan to stop in Lenoir City, or the Lenoir City Park, or other facility prior to meeting at the Trail Head if needed.
Walk Details: The walk is a scenic walk on natural paths (see photo) with some modest hilly and rocky sections. AVA ranking would be a 2C for the 5K and a 3C for the 10K. Walking sticks would be helpful for the steeper trail sections.
Registration Fee: There is a modest $3.00 fee payable to the leader at the start of the walk. Please try to arrive 15 minutes early to make payment. Exact change is appreciated.
Pets are allowed on the walk, but not at the restaurants.
