Event Status: WAITLIST
You are signing up to walk on Monday February 3 @ 8:30am from Glen Foerd towards Somerton.
Please register individually for EACH segment of the Winter 2025 Walk Around Philadelphia that you plan to attend.
About this segment:
Meet in the mansion at Glen Foerd @ 8:30am.
Many of us will be coming in on the SEPTA regional rail train from Center City scheduled to arrive at 8:10am. (Trenton line) Look for us in the back car!
Our friends at Glen Foerd will provide coffee & donuts (& restrooms!) at the start point.
We might also have an option to end with snacks in Somerton as well.
This segment is estimated to take roughly 12-15 miles and 6-8 hours. The terrain may include much potential for off-roading in brambles in the creek-bed, but also roads & sidewalks.
Your mileage, terrain and endpoint may vary depending on choices made by your group; you can always choose to walk a partial segment.
Registration fees & contributions:
Walk event fees cover some of the administrative and logistical costs associated with facilitating the walk and helping make this experience more accessible to others. Please contribute the amount that feels accessible to you.

If you would like to make a donation to a nonprofit to support our continued development of Walk Around Philadelphia and help provide stipends for participants facing financial hardship, you can do so via our 501c3 fiscal sponsor Fractured Atlas (and we would be most grateful!)
