Peninsula ‘Explorers’ set marina walk

The Olympic Peninsula Explorers invite all walkers to join them on their John Wayne Marina walk on Saturday, Nov. 8.

The group meets at QFC, 990B E. Washington St., Sequim, at 8:45 a.m. and will leave promptly at 9 a.m. Sign up is located inside QFC. The walk is 7 kilometers (about 4 miles) or 12 kilometers (about 7.4 miles), with moderate hills on well-groomed trails.

The walk is along country roads and the Olympic Discovery Trail through Carrie Blake Park and beyond. The 12K walk visits the John Wayne Marina; the 7K walk does not go down to the marina, avoiding any moderate hills. The walk is suitable for strollers. Restrooms are at the start and along the way.
