Meet at 72nd St & 5th Ave.
Details
This is tomorrow’s walk route in case anybody needs to know. We’re starting at 72nd St. and Fifth Avenue inside the park and we’ll go downtown to the Balto statue and then walk to the center of the park. We will wind up going clockwise around the pond which is behind Wollman Rink. And then come back to 72nd St. It’ll be just under 3 miles.
While we meet at 10am, given our location change we will wait until about 10:15am to depart. See you soon.

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!
