Walkers meet weekly throughout the year. We usually set out from the Durham Town parking lot at the corner of Madbury Road and Pettee Brook Lane, taking various routes around greater Durham, but we sometimes go farther afield to explore local natural areas. If you’re looking for exercise and good conversation, please join us! All you have to do is show up – no reservation required. However, do make sure your name is on our email list to receive updates as needed.
When: Tuesdays (year-round, weather permitting), 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. We rarely cancel, but conditions such as blizzards or dangerously high Air Quality Index days sometimes make this necessary.
Where: Meet at parking lot at the corner of Pettee Brook Lane and Madbury Road in Durham. (Two hours free for Durham residents; $1 for non-residents.) From time to time, we meet elsewhere. To stay informed, please join our 2024-25 contact list by sending your email address to Penny and Mike.
COVID (as of January 2024): We follow ARA COVID policy (guided by prevailing CDC Guidelines) and New Hampshire, Durham, and UNH requirements. We highly recommend that you be fully vaccinated before joining the group.
DOGS: We follow the ARA Dog Policy (adopted April 2023) which states that for the health, safety, and enjoyment of all group participants, those wishing to bring dogs on ARA hikes and walks at venues permitting dogs must (1) keep them on a short leash at all times, (2) ensure they do not interfere with other participants, and (3) pick up and appropriately dispose of their dogs' waste.
