Evening Conditioning & Dive Bar Series: Marquam/Terwilliger
Details
This series requires the niche skill set of being able to maintain a three miles per hour hiking pace and the intestinal fortitude of a raccoon.
We will hike for approximately two hours at a moving pace of 3 mph. Although these conditioning hikes can hardly be described as wilderness outings, everyone still needs to be prepared for slippery trail conditions, have appropriate clothing, sufficient hydration, and situational awareness. There will be some stairs, street crossings, and possibly parallel parking challenges.
After the workout, we'll head across the Ross Island Bridge for refueling and tall trail tales at the Brooklyn Park Pub.
