What we’re about
CLOSED to new Applications/New Members at this time due to waitlists.
Welcome,
This group is for women 50+ who love being outdoors, staying active, and getting exercise. We have a wonderful group of women (mostly retired) who get together regularly to hike the metro parks and beyond-- in Franklin county and some surrounding counties. Most hikes are a moderate pace (18 minute mile, fast walk but not a run) while others are a bit faster. Trails may be flat or have inclines. Currently, most hikes are on Tuesday and/or Thursday but you may see an occasional Friday or weekend pop up.
Thank you for your interest in our group. We hope to see you soon and often!
