October 26, 2019 @ 9:00AM — November 1, 2019 @ 1:00PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Raising funds to alleviate and address the causes and effects of hunger
**UPDATE!** The Anderson Charitable Foundation has awarded Rio Grande Food Project a $25,000 Challenge Grant! They will match DOLLAR for DOLLAR raised up to $25,000 so ANY size donation will have DOUBLE the impact!
Also HIKE TEES are here! See photo below...
FREE TO ATTEND! RSVP by clicking the blue REGISTER button above and enjoy a beautiful stroll, hike or run along the Bosque north of Alameda. 2,4 and 5.5 mile routes are marked on trails, but since it is a loop trail, walk as far as you would like!
EVENT DETAILS:
Saturday, October 26th - We invite you to join us to HIKE TO END HUNGER so as a community we can celebrate Rio Grande Food Project's 30 YEARS of providing emergency food aid to over 3700 kids, adults and seniors every month!
9:00am - 9:45am: Check-in at Boxing Bear Brewing Company - 10200 Corrales Rd NW ABQ NM 87114
10:00am: Hit the Bosque Trail! Stroll or hike a 2, 4 or 5.5-mile loop through the Bosque along the Rio Grande north of Alameda.
DOGS LOVERS! Bring your big dogs, little dogs, skinny dogs, plump dogs, athletic dogs - even couch potato dogs! The Trail and Boxing Bear patio are dog-friendly:)
**Hikers will leave Boxing bear parking lot and head east along Alameda to the paved footbridge across the Rio Grande River. Once across there will be TWO trails heading north. Both trails are NOT paved but the Upper Trail is fairly packed so make sure wheelchairs and strollers have good wheels and you follow the UPPER TRAIL path. The Lower Trail will eventually put you onto the Upper Trail where you can head back to Boxing Bear or continue on to the 5.5 mile loop turnaround sign.
ALL HIKES finish at Boxing Bear Brewing Company so feel free to join us for award-winning brews, cider, St. Claire wines and and a variety of lunch options for purchase from Boxing Bear and Sancha's Cocina food truck. EAT, DRINK and CELEBRATE helping your neighbors have enough food to live healthy lives!
