8711 Monroe Road,Charlotte NC 28212

17 September, 2022

Description

Description Join us for a casual walk or bike ride (your choice!) as we explore east Charlotte's McAlpine Creek Greenway and Campbell Creek Greenway. This free event is co-hosted by Sustain Charlotte, Partners for Parks, and the Carolina Thread Trail. We're working together to advocate for an equitable — and fast — expansion of Mecklenburg County's greenway network. You’ll have an opportunity to speak with staff and volunteers from these organizations as we discuss the importance of growing our network of greenways. We’ll begin with a short discussion, then continue with a guided walk and bike ride. This is a family-friendly event that is suitable for people of all ages and abilities. All participants will be required to sign a waiver upon arrival. We will follow CDC and local health guidance including social distancing, and we ask that you not attend if you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. Where: The event will begin and end at the same location in McAlpine Creek Park. Look for the Sustain Charlotte tent near the parking lot at 8711 Monroe Road, Charlotte, NC 28212. Bus stops for CATS route 27 are within walking distance. Route: When you register, please indicate if you plan to walk or bike. We'll follow an "out and back" route following the greenway. We'll have more details on the length of the route closer to the date, but it will be a comfortable and casual event with no participant left behind. You are welcome to walk or bike less distance than the main group, or to add additional miles at the end of our time together. Rain date: In case of inclement weather, the event will be postponed. Registered attendees will receive an email notifying you of the change.
