This segment is estimated to take roughly 10 – 12 miles and 5 – 6 hours. Your mileage may vary depending on choices made by your group, and there will be options to walk a partial segment & depart / get picked up along the way if necessary. 

This segment concludes with a lunch at Guardhouse Cafe. For those looking to join us for lunch, JJ will be posting an ETA via twitter @walkaroundphila when the group is about an hour out.

Using public transportation to access departure and end locations is highly recommended.

Once registered, you will receive some additional resources including a packing list & maps.

Walk registration fees help cover administrative and logistical costs associated with facilitating the walk. Additional contributions are most welcome; they assist in the continued development of the project and efforts to make it more accessible to others.

Background:
