Join us at Meeks Mountain Trails for another outdoor education event as Wings & Wander returns for a special fall birdwatching experience! This beginner-friendly birding event will be led by Michelle Platt and Laura Boggess of the Handlan Chapter of the Brooks Bird Club in Charleston. Fall is a great time to explore the trails and learn more about the birds that live in our area as well as those moving through during their seasonal migration. We’ll meet at 5:30 PM at the Big Red Barn at Hurricane City Park. Michelle and Laura will begin with a short, informal introduction to birding, including tips for getting started, identifying common birds, understanding fall migration, and using helpful tools and resources for new birders. After a brief Q&A, we’ll head out on the trails for a guided bird walk and put what we’ve learned into practice. Whether you’re brand new to birding, interested in learning more, or simply looking for a reason to spend a fall evening outdoors, this is a great opportunity to learn, explore, and connect with nature. Bring your binoculars if you have them. We’ll also have a limited number available to share. This is a free event, but donations to support Meeks Mountain Trails and our outdoor education programs are always welcome. Bring a friend or family member and come Wings & Wander with us this fall!

When was the last time you gained weight during a race?! The Baker's Dozen Half Marathon, Relay, & 5K is your opportunity to combine some of the best things in life: 1) Friends 2) Running & 3) Sugar! The Baker's Dozen is a social, fun event where runners race a 3.25 mile loop course allowing them to interact with other runners during the whole race. Half marathoners will run the loop four times and have the incredible fortune of passing the aid station (affectionately known as the "Sugar Shack") at the end of every loop. All half marathon and relay runners will receive an AMAZING finisher's medal. But... you have to earn it. Not only will you run 13 miles, but to earn a medal you must also consume a treat each time you pass the Sugar Shack (3 times total). Volunteers will verify your gluttony, so don't register for the race if you don't plan to eat some calories (each relay runner just needs to eat one treat). Half marathon not your speed? That's
