Meet the Sole Mates!
In May of 2023, Coos Bay Public Library, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), and twenty members of the Coos Bay community formed the Sole Mates. This partnership began a two-year research study to learn the effects of walking as a group and engaging civically to improve public health and walkability in our community. The Sole Mates decided to use funds awarded by OHSU to create a free walking guide to inspire other community members to get outside, walk, and improve their health.
Coos Bay Public Library and the Sole Mates, will co-host Sole Mates’ Community Walk on every fourth Saturday. The location will be chosen from the walking guide and announced each month. Walks are FREE to join and open to everyone!
The September walk will be held at Shore Acres. Meet at Lighthouse Lookout, last parking area on right before Shore Acres turnoff (89526 Cape Arago Hwy).
*State park passes are required so plan ahead and carpool.
Let’s walk!
