T1D Adults “Hike Don’t Spike”

September 28, 2024, Woodside, CA
9:30 am - 1:30 pm

Our September Breakthrough T1D Hike Don’t Spike event for adults will be on Saturday, September 28th in beautiful Huddart Park in Woodside. Hikers will have the option to do the full 7.4 mile, 1400’ elevation gain loop, or split off to a shorter 4.6 mile, 900’ loop in case you don’t hike often or just need to leave early. The first half of each hike is a long gradual uphill, followed by the second half which is essentially all downhill, with mostly wide paths over bridges and under redwoods, including a few redwood fairy rings. Bathrooms are available at the trailhead and at the halfway point (of the full loop), and the park has several picnic areas. Dogs unfortunately aren’t permitted, except for service dogs. There is plenty of parking, with a $6 (cash) entry fee. We’ll meet near the Huddart Park Zwierlein Trailhead Parking Area.

This is the latest in a series of events designed for T1D adults who enjoy trail hikes of ~5-8 miles in the Bay Area with other like-minded T1D adults, and who enjoy the benefits for glucose control that hikes can provide. Before hitting the trail, we’ll share tips with each other on managing T1D in the great outdoors. If interested, please register for the September hike, or just sign up with Breakthrough T1D to be informed about future hikes. Hope to see you at Hike Don’t Spike!
