Event Description
This is our third annual super distance walk event covering 50 miles in one day. Last year we had over 60 participants walking and 8 individuals that made the entire distance. We're looking to do a repeat this year only bigger.
As we did last year, our walk primarily follows the East Coast Greenway. And, the East Coast Greenway Alliance has promised outstanding support along the way.
This is our most diverse walk, from tranquil parks and rivers to friendly communities to industrial parks and cities - this one has it all. The walk is conveniently near rail lines which makes using mass transit a big plus. If you prefer, create your own challenge by jumping on or off the walk at various schedule points.
This year again, The Big Walk is an important segment event for our Cross-Jersey Walking Challenge encompassing 50 miles of the 100 total goal for the year. Join the challenge and walk the entire state in 2012 at your own pace for your own glory.

Michael,
As always, you are more than welcome and you are right that it would not be the same without you.

You cannot have a NJ2NY50 without me! I can set my political activism aside to go on yet another amazing 50 mile journey through the tri-state area!

This will be my first time in this event with my husband. We will be coming from Ohio, and hope to raise awareness and funds for frontoltemporal degeneration during our training. Looking forward to it!

Diana,
We can get almost anything along the way...including Advil & Champagne.

Cake and advil likely :) or maybe shoot for Champagne at the finish! We are determined to finish. I have run the Portland Marathon in 4 hours two years ago, but walking double that mileage should be a big challenge for 50. We are so excited to join the team.

Diana,
What a great way to celebrate 50! I think we'll need to find some birthday cake along the way.
