| Embrace your God Given Beauty... |
OUR MISSION:
To introduce African-Americans to a fun and exciting way to get fit, stay healthy and
enjoy the beauty of the world God created for us. Although our efforts are focused
on encouraging African-Americans to experience this amazing, life changing
experience, we welcome ALL people to join.
GENERAL INFO
Because hiking is an activity in which African-Americans are typically under-
represented, our efforts are focused on encouraging them to experience this
lifestyle. It’s also a great workout! Don’t be surprised if you find yourself toning up
and even shedding a few pounds with regular participation. Most GGB hikes take
place on Sunday mornings or afternoons at Crowders Mountain State Park.
Participation is easy: Send us your cell phone number and you’ll receive a text
message on Friday or Saturday to let you know the time and place of the hike each
week. If you plan to attend, text back so that we will know that you’re coming. There
will be a 15 min grace period from the planned time of the hike, anyone arriving
after that will have to hit the trail on their own! Meanwhile, keep checking the
website and blog for updates.
