7.0 Mile Urban Hike San Marino, Fast Pace

Come join us for a fast-paced urban hike around the winding hills and beautiful streets of peaceful San Marino. Enjoy the scenery, the architecture, the wide streets, and the cool morning air.

LEVEL: Advanced for speed (approximately 18 mins per mile), a couple of 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: 7.0 miles, a couple of staircases, and some long street inclines. Elevation gain is 900ft. Approximately 2:30 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, and sufficient water.

MEETING POINT: We will meet for introductions at 8:30 am on the east side of Lacy Park at 1485 Virginia Road, San Marino, CA 91108 (near Euston Road), and take off sharply at 8.35 am.

RESTROOMS: The restrooms at Lacy Park are usually open. There are none along the way, unless you count any random Port-a-Potties that we might come across along the route.

PARKING: Free street parking around the park entrance on Virginia Road and Euston Road. Parking at your own risk.

NO CRASHING! All participants MUST sign up through the Meetup app and check in with the leader upon arrival. If someone is a bringing a guest, then that guest MUST also sign up as well through the Meetup app before the hike if space is available. The waitlist, if any, generally clears in order. Members with a good attendance record and a posted picture (LA Hiking Group rule) may get some priority.

PROFILE NAME AND PIC: Be sure to update your profile to indicate at least your first name and include a picture showing your face, per group policy. This is for your safety and to discourage non-signed-up crashers.
