6.0 Mile Urban Hike South Pasadena (incl. Stairs/Steep Inclines), Fast Pace

## Details

Come join us for a fast-paced urban hike around the winding hills and beautiful streets of peaceful South Pasadena. Enjoy the scenery, the Craftsman and Mid-Century Modern architecture, the cooler evening air, and the setting sun.

LEVEL: Advanced for speed (approximately 18 mins per mile), a few staircases, and some long street inclines, otherwise moderate plus. We are a friendly group that loves to socialize and encourages newcomers, but please note that moderate+ level of cardio fitness and fast walking speed are required.

LENGTH: 6.0 miles, a few staircases, and some long street inclines. Elevation gain is 900ft. Approximately 2:00 hours.

SPEED: Advanced speed of approximately 18 mins per mile. We will try to take a quick pause to re-group at the top of stairs and steep hills but our regulars like to keep up a good solid fast pace of about 18 minutes per mile. There will be no sweep, so bring your phone for navigation just in case you fall behind or want to leave early.

BRING: Exercise outfit, workout shoes (no hiking shoes needed) and plenty of water.

MEETING POINT: We will meet at 6:00 pm in front of the South Pasadena Library (1100 Oxley Street, South Pasadena, 91030) for introductions and take off sharply at 6.05 pm.

RESTROOMS: At the library. None along the way (unless you count any random Port-a-Potties that might dot the route).

PARKING: Free street parking around the library area. Parking at your own risk.

NO CRASHING! Urban hikes do not work well with large groups so, unfortunately, space is limited. The waitlist, if necessary, generally clears in order. Members with a good attendance record and a posted picture (LA Hiking Group rule) may get some priority.

LIABILITY: The organizer is an untrained and unpaid volunteer. By joining this event each member accepts full and total responsibility for knowing their limits, for all injuries and health issues, assessing all risks, for any material losses, for falling behind, and for getting lost. Each member agrees to make their guests aware of this, and fully releases the host from any and all liability.
