Houston Marathon Weekend, NEO segment 5 miles Night Hike Terry Hershey park
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
- Thursday Evening Houston Urban Trekkers
- Friday Evening NEO Houston
- Saturday, Houston Area Trails and More,
- 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.
NEO is dedicated to helping people of all ages and backgrounds lead more active outdoor-oriented lives for better health, happiness, and wellbeing. https://youtu.be/YLPJrHs5PCk?list=TLGGYXrB28dE2rIxNjAzMjAyMg

Leaving 5 minutes after the start time. During thise 5 min I'll chat about the area. Sunset is around 540pm-ish.
Hiking Wilcrest west then over the bayou to the dirt trail (anthills) towards Dairy Ashford. These trails have elevation changes, slopes, along with roots throughout the trails. We will keep an eye/ear open for the owls that live around the trails.
If the trails have puddles of water on them we will walk the paved trail on the north bank of the bayou.
There is an option for anyone to cross over at Kirkwood if the elevation changes in the hike are a bit too much. You can then take the paved trail back to the starting point.
Total distance will be approx. 5 miles.
Parking is street parking within the neighborhood along Wycliffe street (which is parallel to Wilcrest)
Houston is huge so any rain chance prediction does not mean it will rain in the area of the hike. https://weather.com/weather/radar/interactive/l/85d7f10298720a0f99fe16258c4756827ed3b56ed59447e35bf0e5f79bb0ddd6?par=samsung_widget
Dogs are welcome but must be friendly, and they must stay on a leash at all times...no exceptions. There could be multiple dogs, so be sure they are not dog aggressive.
There are no restrooms at the trailhead or along the trail.
