Ballantyne Evening Hike/Ruck - Moderate 5 miles

Join us for our weekly 5 mile evening greenway hike. We're a group of hikers that have been meeting once a week on the greenway to get a mid week evening hike in since 2018. Some come out to socialize and some come out to get more into the outdoors. Those that seek it can find help with trail suggestions, gear and backpacking tips that we all share.

Preparing for an upcoming hike/ backpacking trip or just want to increase your fitness level? Join the members of the group using this hike as a weekly ruck workout.

REMINDER: Please bring along a headlamp or flashlight since it may get dark during the ruck.
