Time to break out the day planners and Google calendars because we have the NWR ABQ events for April.
🤔Anything new? Glad you asked. Since our days are now longer and getting warmer, we are adding evening runs on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month through September.
🏃🏽♀️The first Tuesday of the month will be a trail run. And the 3rd Tuesday will be a road or paved path run. We’re hoping that by adding this variety into our schedule, more folks will find a run to join.
APRIL EVENTS
⭐️Trail Run, 4 mi or 3 mi run/hike
📍Copper Trailhead, Sandia Foothills
🗓️Tues, Apr 7th. Meet at 6:30 pm
🚙Park at trailhead or along the side of Copper Ave.
💦Recommend you bring water to carry on run since this trail has hills.
⭐️Group Run, 2 or 4 mi options
📍UNM Golf Course Loop
🗓️Sat, Apr 11. Meet at 8 am
🏃🏽♀️This course is a 2 mi loop, so folks can run the mostly flat dirt trail loop multiple times if they’re looking for more mileage.
🤗Walkers welcome!
⭐️Group Run, 5k
📍Rio Grande Park
🗓️Tues, Apr 21. Meet at 6:30 pm
🏡We will run through the neighborhood which means this is also a good route for strollers.
⭐️League of Garmin Hike, 5.1 mi
📍Tramway Trail
🗓️Sat, Apr 25. Meet at 8 am
🤗This hike will be led by NM League of Garmin Captain, Nicole Smith who is also our NWR ABQ group lead.
🙌🏽All NWR ABQ folks, League of Garmin members, and Albuquerque community hiking fans are invited.
🎁Garmin water bottles will be given to all attendees (while supplies last) after the hike.
✅And yes, this is the same hike that was scheduled for March, but got cancelled due to an injury on the trail. With recovery going well, we’re giving this hike another shot!
