Welcome to our walking group! In light of the covid-19 pandemic we want to remind everyone of part of your Meetup agreement: "You acknowledge that some Meetup events carry inherent dangers, such as the risk  of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death. By participating in these events, you understand and agree that you have freely chosen to assume these risks." Now, with that out of way, we are a very friendly and social group that encourages general fitness and active living in the Clear Lake area. We offer walks that will interest all levels of walkers from beginners to advanced. We often break bread together so it’s a good thing that we work out first! Explore and share your favorite areas in the Clear Lake and surrounding areas! If existing walks are not meeting your needs, become an Event Organizer! We are seeking people to be Event Organizers to host one-time or recurring events of different levels and locations. It would be great to have some mommy walks, dog walks, and marathon training walks on the calendar! If you want to motivate yourself to walk regularly, the best way is to commit to hosting a regular walk. Recurring events can be posted daily, weekly, monthly, or sporadically. You will attract regular walkers to your events and get to know some really great people. Check out our calendar! The fitness level required will be indicated on each walk by noting the walk rating, terrain, distance, and time plus some walks will allow people to walk at their own pace. Dog and/or stroller friendly walks will be indicated on the walk posting.

The idea to make these meet-ups entertaining and interesting to the lay community as well as those from the ranks of professional scientists.

Black & Outdoorsy is a local group that connects people of color in the Greater Houston area with nature and eachother through outdoor adventures including camping, hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, tubing, fishing, road trips to beaches and outdoor wonders, skiing, skydiving, paintball, outdoor festivals, and anything else the members decide to explore. Minorities are underrepresented in many nature and outdoor spaces and we aim to change that narrative. Grab your sense of adventure and get ready to explore and connect with those who share your outdoor interests! The group targets those in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s, and events are intended for adults. While the focus is ensuring that people of color have knowledge of outdoor recreation and access to nature, we welcome everyone to participate regardless of culture or race. Instead of a subscription fee for this group, some of the Meetups will have a cost to attend. This way, members are only paying if active. The fees are to cover the subscription expenses for Meetup, buy equipment, food, drinks etc. for events and lessen any financial burden of those who choose to host events. Hope to you see soon!
