Founders In The Wild - A Rock Creek Valley Hike

​Join us for our second Founders Hike as we all put in the steps to earn our holiday Turkeys (vegan or otherwise). Our last hike was well attended and we are excited to continue celebrating our vibrant community of founders, investors, and inspiring entrepreneurs from DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.

​​We’ll be doing a light picnic at our meeting point before we enjoy a moderate 2 hour riverside stroll along the Rock Creek River— easily accessible for both our drivers and public transportation crew. ​

​​Meeting Point:


​Picnic Grove #1 (by Pierce Mill) @ Shoemaker St NW, Washington, DC 20008

​​*We will meet at the picnic tables across from Pierce Mill, by the sign for Picnic Grove #1. 



​​​Public Transit:

​Take the Red Line Metro to the Cleveland Park metro stop. Once there, it will be a 16 min walk via the Reservation 630 Trail to arrive at the meetup point.
