Queen Anne Stair Walk - COMPETITION #1
Details
THIS WALK WILL NOT BE CONDUCTED LIKE OUR NORMAL WALKS!!!
Usually we wait for the slowest walker so he/she will not be left behind (Our Group Motto: No Walker Left Behind) This is not the case for the Wednesday walks.
These Wednesday walks will be vastly different.
THESE WALKS WILL BE TIMED FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL. EVERYONE WALKS AT HIS/HER OWN SPEED TO ACHIEVE A PERSONAL RECORD FOR THE WALK.
PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE ROUTE BEFORE THE WALK SO YOU CAN LEAD YOURSELF (if need be)
Results for the Competition Walks will be published monthly.
NOTE: PARKING IS CHALLENGING SO LEAVE EARLY!!!!
⤵️ Route:
Distance: 4 miles

🖊 Description:
THIS IS A MUST-NOT-MISS walk. My very favorite and a little tiny park on the walk has THE BEST VIEW OF SEATTLE (the pic above is NOT 'the' view). Gorgeous architecture and amazing view, plus lots of "secret" stairs
This 4 mile loop goes up and down the most beautiful stairs in Seattle, past lovely homes, and great views over downtown, Puget Sound, Mt. Rainier and the Olympics. Some of these stairs were built a century ago.
Please use a map-tracking app (Strava/Apple Fitness, etc...) to verify your route and time.
