Kilimanjaro/ Reston Walking Group & Social

Join our weekly walking challenge to have fun, maintain a healthy lifestyle, get fit, gain energy, lose weight, or just enjoy the weather and meet new people. We meet Saturday mornings at the bike racks in front of the Reston Container Store, and leave promptly at 10:05am.

The first leg of our journey goes under Reston Parkway and onto the Green Trail, leading to Lake Anne. After a brief bio break (and 5-10 minutes at the Lake Anne Farmer's Market between April-Nov) we walk around Lake Anne and then return to the Container Store. All in all, it's about ~4 miles, finishing by or before 11:30.

Afterwards, some members will often walk somewhere nearby (like Not Your Average Joes) for a quick meal, to rest and refuel. It's certainly not mandatory, but also not a bad idea to take a break after a 4 mile walk!

This event is open to all ages and fitness levels. All you need to bring is your walking shoes, but as the weather gets warmer we suggest water, sun protection, and maybe a hat. Also, feel free to bring a friend!

By signing up, you accept and assume all risks and responsibilities with this activity, and nobody will be held liable.
