# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Castle Hill Afternoon Fitness Walk
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 31 Jul, 2026 at 04:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Fancy a casual fitness-building walk at Castle Hill?

Join Jodi and the group for a social walk up Castle Hill. While we generally head towards the summit via the road, every walk is a little different. Depending on the group’s interests, fitness levels and conditions on the day, we may explore some of Castle Hill’s side tracks, lookouts and hidden gems along the way.

This is an excellent walk for beginners and a great opportunity to build fitness while enjoying good company, plenty of conversation and some of the best views Townsville has to offer.
From the summit and surrounding lookouts, you’ll enjoy spectacular views across the city, Magnetic Island, Pallarenda, Mount Louisa and Mount Stuart. Don’t forget your camera!

The walk will be completed at a comfortable, steady pace with short breaks as needed and typically takes between 1 and 1.5 hours, depending on the group. There are cold water fountains available at the summit.

This walk is suitable for people of all ages, fitness levels and abilities. Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, meet new people or simply enjoy an afternoon outdoors, we’d love to have you join us.
