Safety and Weather
Why this matters
We meet outdoors in changing conditions. Clear calls and shared care keep everyone safe and at ease.
Our Calls
Light rain is fine
We walk in mist or drizzle. Bring a layer and a hat.
We cancel for unsafe conditions
Heavy rain, ice, lightning, high winds, extreme heat, or unhealthy smoke mean we pause.
Air Quality
If AQI is 101 or higher, we cancel.
Day-of updates
Check the event page one hour before start time for any changes.
Group Pacing
Conversational Pace
We choose routes most bodies can handle. Say if you need to slow down.
Example: “Can we slow down a little?”
Stay together
Keep the group within sight. Tell the host if you step away.
Example: “I’m pausing at the bench. I’ll catch up in a bit.”
What to Bring
Comfortable shoes
Weather-ready layers
Water
Small light if we may finish near dusk
If Conditions Change
We may shorten the route, find shelter, or end early. Safety comes first. No pressure to continue.
If Someone Needs Help
Stay calm. Tell the host. Offer simple support, not diagnosis. We call for medical help if needed.
Example: “Let’s sit, breathe, and check what you need.”
Illness
If you feel sick or have a fever, please skip and join next time.
Shared safety lets us relax and notice what is already here.
