What we’re about

COVID -19 POLICY: YOU MUST BE COVID-19 VACCINATED TO WALK WITH US.

PACE: This is a conversational walking pace group - but not a slow walking pace. You must be able to keep up with a 20 -23 minute mile pace (about a minute and a half per city block). Those who cannot keep up with the pace but want to start out with us can use the Central Park Map to walk independently at their own pace. Our group is not suitable for slow walkers.

ABOUT: Ever Walk is the hottest new free walking club sweeping the nation - started by one of the greatest women athletes of our time, endurance swimmer, journalist and author, Diana Nyad, and women's national racquetball champion, Bonnie Stoll. Welcome to the Central Park NYC Ever Walk Chapter! Check Diana and Bonnie, our founders here.

TIME: Instructions start at 9:55am. We leave promptly at 10am EVERY SATURDAY and do not check messages before or during the walk.

WALK/DISTANCE: Please join us for a 3 mile walk (more or less) for about 90 minutes (more or less). We try to explore different parts of the park so that you have a mini-adventure to talk about with your friends.

START/FINISH: The meet up/finish spot IS ALWAYS THE SAME - enter the park through 90th Street and Fifth Avenue, and cross the road with runners and cyclists. Stay on the dirt path (bridle path) on other side of the road. Meet in front of the John Purroy Mitchel statue, a gold bust on the stone wall with 2 sets of stairs just BELOW the reservoir path. Look for me in EverWalk gear!

NO BATHROOM STOP.

RELEASE: If you participate in a walk you are responsible for yourself and agree not to hold the EverWalk organization, its leaders or members liable in any way for any injuries or damage which may occur as a result of your participation.

WEATHER NOTE: We will walk in the cold, in light rain, and light snow. We won’t walk on icy areas, in heavy downpours, in lightning or unsafe terrain. Use your judgment, dress in layers. We will post here usually by 7 AM on the Saturday before the walk for an update if there is a need to cancel due to inclement weather.

GET SOCIAL: We do take pics and vids on walks and post to social media!

Meet EverWalk Founders Diana Nyad & Bonnie Stoll - 3 Mile Walk in Central Park

Meet EverWalk Founders Diana Nyad & Bonnie Stoll - 3 Mile Walk in Central Park

Mayor John Purroy Mitchel Memorial, 2 East 90th Street, New York, NY, US

You read right! Celebrity athletes Diana Nyad & Bonnie Stoll are walking with us! Come meet them for a walk & talk & photo op. They'll be back on 11/29 but you don't want to miss this one! So incredible!! We'll walk about 3 miles to the North Woods. There will be stone steps without handrails in the woods.

We’re the NYC Chapter of Ever Walk – an international movement to encourage people to walk together to enhance physical and mental health. Founded by one of the greatest women athletes of our time, Diana Nyad, and her coach and friend, Bonnie Stoll. Diana swam from Cuba to Florida in shark infested waters without a shark cage - check the movie NYAD on Netflix if you want to be inspired!
