Set your walking/hiking goal!
Pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela come by many routes and from many
different places. For Camino Seattle, we will each determine our
own mileage goal, based on our time and physical ability. The main
point is to set a goal to challenge yourself a bit during these four
weeks. We suggest a goal of 60 miles or moreāthe minimum to
receive a compostela in Spain.
Community walks and events
The Camino de Santiago is not just a feat of endurance or a private
prayer. It is a community event: a place where people get to know
each other and make new friends. Each week during Camino Seattle,
there will be hosted walks across the city as well as educational
opportunities at the Cathedral. Keep an eye on the weekly bulletin
for a schedule of these special summer events.
Host a walk
Do you have a favorite walk you'd like to share with other
parishioners? Throughout Camino Seattle, parishioners will host
walks around the city. This will be a great way to reach your walking
goal while meeting some fellow parishioners. Walks can be at a
time and place of your choosing. Be creative and get some friends
