Feeling accomplished at the Hi Beg/Lo Intermed level and ready to go farther and pick up the pace? Give this one a try! We’ll cross the Hatches Harbor Dike and marsh to reach Race Point Light, enjoying stunning views and the quality of late-day lighting that put Provincetown on the map for artists in the late 1800s.

If you are an intermediate/advanced or advanced level walker, please let walkers who wish to step up to intermediate level have this opportunity. We typically only offer this at a higher level and we want to give others a chance. If there are spots available the day before, feel free to book. Thank you.

Meet at 3:15 pm to sign in and stretch. We’ll begin walking promptly at 3:30. Route is tide dependent; please be on time. Hosted by Sue Moynihan with Sweep TBD. Read to the bottom for directions to meeting point.
