Host Bill Bartee from Jesse Brown’s Outdoors talks about the upcoming Urban Hike 2023.  The HIKE, originally scheduled for March 12, was postponed due to rain, is now happening April 23rd, and you are invited.

This year’s route starts in the heart of SouthPark (at Fairmeadows Swim & Racquet), heads West towards Park Road, then turns to the North.  From there, the route makes a loop around Park Road Shopping Center before heading back South, ultimately returning the SouthPark (finishing at Legion Brewery SouthPark).

We’ll see brand new segments of the Little Sugar Creek Greenway & the newly completed Backlot Trail, which connects SouthPark to the cross-CLT trail.

What you need are comfortable, supportive shoes & a water-bottle.  Use HIKE25 to save $25 OFF your One Hundred Dollar Purchase.
