NJ2NY50 - The Big Walk - 2013 at Metropark, Iselin NJ to Penn Station New York

May 18, 2013 from 6am to 10:30pm
This is our fourth annual super distance walk and our premier challenge event. We average about 60 participants with usually less than 10 going the entire distance. We're looking to do a repeat this year only bigger with more finishers.NOTE: In a recent decision this year "The Big Walk" is the "Not as Big Walk" due to damage done in Liberty State Park - usually a 7-mile loop which has been eliminated. Access to walking is still restricted so the usual 50-mile walk has been shortened to…See More

"Like your post Ron. And, so true for me too. There's something really good about taking on an impossible challenge (and that's relative to whoever you are) and finishing it or at least giving it your best shot. There's not many more…"

"Paul, I hope I didn't leave the impression that I wouldn't do this walk again.  I would, and I'm looking forward to it, and think that more people should be exposed to the painful, yet eye-opening experience. Many thanks…"

The Big 50 Mile Walk

On Friday night I sat in Old Man Rafferty's in Asbury Park, dining on my pre-walk meal of roast beef au ju and french fries, watching the crowds walk to the Bamboozle Concert, on their way from the train station to the beach. It made me think of my clubs and affiliations - the Society of Actuaries, the Jersey Shore Running Club, and now tomorrow, the New Jersey Free Walkers, all seemingly in quest of destinations far, far away. I really need to get in with some cool groups that need only walk a…See More

The Sounds of a Long Walk

Just a few days ago, I noticed, maybe for the first time, the sounds of the Great Canal Walk. For most of the 40 miles and 15 hours that day there was an absence of sound in this body of water as still as glass on that calm day....
