Who We Are:
Shorewalkers is a non-profit environmental hiking organization founded in 1982. Our mission is to promote and preserve New York City’s waterfront and raise awareness of its shorelines by leading invigorating hikes throughout the metropolitan area. Our signature event, The Great Saunter, is a 32-mile trek along Manhattan's shoreline, held annually on the first Saturday of May. Additionally, we host the Great Saunter Fall Challenge, a virtual event in early October.

GUESTS:
If you plan to bring a guest, please forward them this guest waiver and make sure they sign it before coming to the walk: https://tinyurl.com/28cez6j8MODIFIED RSVP PROCESS: In order to minimize the aggravation caused by casual clickers (those who change their mind at last minute so others can't take their spot), I initially capped RSVPs at 40 and now will only take additional motivated members from the Waitlist who text me (908-672-9250) that they really want to attend this event. Since we already reached the initial 40 capacity limit, I will now require everyone including the president (I mean He Who Must Not Be Named, not Pam) who wants to join us from the Waitlist to text me (908-672-9250). Just to be clear, NO TEXT, NO GO, Preference will be given to regulars on previous hikes and/or members who indicate they are highly motivated members (will also join us to socialize at the Departed Soles brewery at end of our walk). Members who are paying attention here will realize that no-one should be left on the Waitlist other than casual clickers (folks who don't pay attention to directions).
The Cam Smith Guarantee: Anyone who wants to go on this walk will be able to do so by simply following the above directions.Please don't post any comments/questions prior to the walk, instead contact Cameron at camerons1006@gmail.com or text 908-672-9250.
