Let’s burn some calories before the CCNW 3rd Anniversary Party! We will decide as a group whether we will walk to Trail 1 or Trail 2 and back. We will all walk the same route. 🥳🎉🎇

Meet at 5:15 PM (There is no fee after 5 PM) for sign-in and stretching to begin walking at 5:30 PM (walk is tide dependent). Hosted by Debbie Zinck and Sweep TBD.

– Prerequisite: Instructional clinic and at least two (fairly recent) CCNW 4 mile walks, at a steady pace, on varied terrain, with fewer breaks.

– Distance: Either 2ish or 4ish miles. We will all walk the same route.

– Pace: Moderate to Fast as terrain allows, with fewer stops (22-23 minute mile).

– Terrain: On the marsh side: short paved path leading to trail with a LOT of soft sand, some uneven gravel/rocks and a high soft sand dune that leads to the beach.
On the beach side: mainly hard-packed sand with multiple areas of assorted size rocks.

For Your Safety: Consider the weather forecast when booking a walk. WATER MUST BE CARRIED ON ALL WALKS! In consideration of personal and group safety, if you arrive without water, you will not be allowed to walk. Dress for the weather and protect yourself from the elements. Choose appropriate footwear for trail conditions. Use repellent to protect yourself from ticks, which are active year-round.

We will walk on the marsh side to either Trail 1 or Trail 2, climb a long soft sand dune, then return via the beach side. Unless there is cloud cover, this walk is in full sun.

-Limit 1 booking per day and 3 RSVPs per week (Sunday to Saturday) to give others the chance to walk. If you are already holding 3 RSVPs for the week of this walk, please do not sign up.

– Wear your CCNW ID badge.

– Bring rubber tips (and sand baskets if you use them).

– Restrooms are at the upper parking lot and are open for the summer season. Bring tissue in a plastic bag for a bio break along the way.

– Water fountains are open for the summer season.

– If your plans change, kindly cancel your booking at least 24 hours in advance of walk start time so
other walkers may join.

Walk may be canceled, changed, or rescheduled for weather or other reasons. Cancellation decision will be made at least 2 hours in advance. Check your email (including spam) before driving to the walk.
