Austin

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.

If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).

**<u>What to expect:</u>**
We walk as a group and dive into topics that go beyond small talk. (More info [here](https://www.theboardwalks.com/).)

Recent topics include:

* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"

This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*

But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.

**<u>Come prepared:</u>**
We ask that you bring a thoughtful topic with you.

At the start of the walk, everyone shares their topic with the group, and these become the launching points for conversations throughout our 5 miles together.

Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. Be a good egg and bring a topic that'd make people go "Oooh, interesting."

**Important notes:**

* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We welcome people of all ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.

**FAQs:**

* We have multiple first-timers on each walk! We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are very welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!

**Logistics:**

* **Arrive on time.** If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we kindly suggest that you skip the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and one of our goals is to create a "phone-free" space — which means everyone (including the host!) will be fully present. We can't answer messages during the event.
* **Read our** [**Ground Rules**](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules). Our host gives an overview of what to expect at the beginning of the walk.
* **Share the magic**. If you enjoy the event, send [**this**](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) to a friend. We're currently in 7 cities with more on the way (Austin, SF, NYC, Denver, Columbus, Boone, London). 🤠👋

**If you want to go deeper...**
