You are signing up to walk on Sunday September 21st @ 10:00am, from Baltimore Ave towards the Airport.
Please register individually for EACH segment of the Fall 2025 Walk Around Philadelphia that you plan to attend.
About this segment:
Meet at the bench on the northwestern corner of South 61st Street & Baltimore Ave.
This segment includes challenges to connect from the Heinz Wildlife Refuge to the Airport as there is no straightforward path here (yet.)
In order to best prepare for the choices ahead, you might want to take a good look at the area in Google Maps (both terrain and satelite views) as well as the Circuit Trails map of current and proposed trails and the East Coast Greenway proposed trail alignments.
This segment includes an option to end with snacks at the Aviation Grill in the Airport Marriott hotel
This segment is estimated to take roughly 9-10 miles and 5-7 hours. The terrain may include wooded trails and sidewalk, potential for off-road bushwhacking adventures.
Your mileage, terrain and endpoint may vary depending on choices made by your group; you can always choose to walk a partial segment.

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.
