What we’re about
Welcome to the DC Urban Walkers! Our events prioritize metro accessibility and urban environments throughout dc and surrounding areas. We typically meet every week for an afterwork walk usually around 5 miles and we have several longer weekend walks per month. The routes can have mixed terrain including sidewalks, gravel, hiking trials, etc. We try to be punctual with our event times so please be respectful to others and show up a few minutes early, because we will leave without you.
If you've enjoyed our walks please consider donating a few bucks to help us keep this group running (meetup is expensive!). Donation Link: https://venmo.com/code?user_id=2158403661070336114
We're always looking for new leaders who can showcase their neighborhood or any cool places they know, so please reach out either at an event or on meetup if you are interested.
