TIME CHANGE!! - Corvallis Great Global Greyhound Walk - September 29th - Walk Now Begins At 1:30 PM!!

 

                  The Great Global Greyhound Walk!



Join us here in beautiful Corvallis, Oregon as we stroll the beautiful campus of Oregon State University for the Great Global Greyhound Walk on Sunday, September 29th at 1:30 PM!

All Greyhounds, Sighthounds and Sighthound mixes are welcome to participate in this annual global event.

We'll stroll along the tree-lined walkways of the campus and enjoy a fall afternoon.  This will be a flat, non-strenuous walk with an opportunity to pause for coffee at the campus Dutch Bros. if so desired.  Total time of the walk will be no more than 1-hour.

....and we'll likely see a few food-delivery robots rolling around the campus, delivering food to the unambitious Sunday college students 😉



We'll meet at 1:30 PM at the campus parking lot, one half-block north of 14th & Monroe.  We don't need a permit to park on campus on Sundays.

Follow this link for detailed information, as well as a map showing location.  Simply zoom in on the map to give you a precise location of the parking lot.

See you there!!
