Let’s kick off 2026 with a walk around the city of Philadelphia!

We’ll do a 6-7 mile walk including 3 miles (round trip) on the pedestrian walkway of the Ben Franklin Bridge. The walk will start at the Franklin Square PATCO station at 10:15am*. Please arrive a few minutes early, so we can leave promptly at 10:15. Bathrooms are available at Franklin Square Park (open at 10:00am) and the Independence Visitor Center at 6th and Market. After brief introductions, we’ll head to the bridge, walk to Chinatown, and continue to Elixr Coffee Roasters for a bathroom/coffee break. After our break, we will walk to the Rail Park and then head to City Hall/Dillworth Plaza. Finally, we will walk to the Reading Terminal Market for a post-walk bite to eat. If you don’t plan to stay for lunch, you can easily continue on your way.

It can be windy on the bridge, so dress appropriately.

*If you are coming from New Jersey, Danielle will be at the Haddonfield PATCO station at 9:30am. There is a 9:36am train that arrives at Franklin Square at 9:52am.
