The TRAINing Walk: Morristown to Maplewood
NYC Train arrives in Morristown at 8:28. Walk two blocks to Panera's in the shopping center.
Ring in 2019 with FreeWalkers by taking on this 14-mile walk (or less) through the historic towns of Morristown, Madison, Chatham, Summit, Short Hills, Millburn and Maplewood, finishing this year at St James's Gate in Maplewood. This walk is perfect for seasoned FreeWalkers, newbies and even families with children and strollers as well. The 14-mile route follows the Midtown Direct rail line and gives walkers the option to walk as little or as much as they choose. FreeWalker events are supportive, relaxing and not competitive. If you’ve never walked with us, this is a perfect walk to start with.
