Inspired by the London Marathon?
If you’ve been inspired by the recent running of the London Marathon and feel that it’s time to do something energetic and challenging yourself (but perhaps not that energetic and challenging) then why not head to New York this spring for The Great Saunter.
The Great Saunter is an annual 32 mile walk around Manhatten’s edge. The pace is steady, but not too fast and most of the route is fairly flat. Whatever the weather the event goes ahead and walkers tend to keep to the waterside as much as possible, though the trail does also run through 20 of the city’s parks.
The walk begins at 7.30am at South Street Seaport (corner of Fulton and Water Streets) and ends in the same place at 7.30pm for a celebration as the moon rises over Brooklyn. And you don’t even have to do the whole course as there are various points at which you can meet up with the Saunter on its way round.
