City Walk Houston Marathon ~ 7.0 miles
Details
The finish line is in sight! Join the four major Meetup walking groups in Houston on a joint quest to complete a marathon of hikes on the same weekend as the official Houston Marathon.
Look for the four hikes with
1. Thursday Evening Houston Urban Trekkers
2. Friday Evening NEO Houston
3. Saturday, Houston Area Trails and More,
4. Sunday, City Walks Houston
The idea is to complete the four segments over the weekend so you can brag on Monday that you did a marathon over the weekend.
No need to say which marathon.
Hike Safety:
Hiking is supposed to be fun. If you don't feel well or can't keep up, tell someone right away. Stop walking so it doesn't become something serious. Contact the hike leader. We can help get you off the trail.

What to You Need:

Weather:
Weather in Downtown
Our organizers are not guides nor do we have any special training. We are here to come up with ideas and get the walk started. Take the same precautions you would if walking alone, including the fitness needed to make long walks. Then enjoy the day among friends.
Parking:
There is limited free parking on Sabine Street, the Fonde Recreation Center or across the pedestrian bridge on Memorial Way. Parking Lot H has raised rates and is now $20, payable by scanning the QR Code or on their app.
Wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. The heat in Texas is always a concern so let someone know if you are having a hard time.
Gathering Place:
