Saunter Stretch #3

Walk the iconic, 32-mile Great Saunter path around Manhattan Island over the course of 3 weekends. For Stretch #3, we cover the last part of the route, 12 miles, 5 hours, starting at east 145th Street and walking to the southern end of Manhattan. Join us for all or part of the walk - drop out points all along the route.

We meet at West 145th Street and Edgecombe Ave and walk downhill to Malcolm X Blvd to use restrooms in the playground. Continue 5 miles south and break in Carl Schurz Park. Pack a lunch, restrooms available. Leaving the park, walk along the East River towards the Williamsburg, Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. We will follow the detour around the East Side Coastal Resiliency project that we will be part of the Great Saunter route on May 7.

Finish Stretch #3 at Fraunces Tavern - celebratory beverage is optional!
