Reverse Quarter-Saunter 4-3-2-1 Countdown 1️⃣ 96th/Broadway to Fraunces Tavern

What’s [arguably] better than walking the Great Saunter 32-miles in one day? How about splitting it into four days, 8 miles/day? Today we finish our 4-3-2-1 countdown walking from 96th Street to Fraunces Tavern, the *first* quarter of the iconic [May] Great Saunter course, which we're doing in reverse, i.e., counter-clockwise, over four days.

One/October 17 On or fourth and final day, we'll finish the 32-mile loop! We’ll walk 8 miles at a moderate pace from 96th Street down the Hudson to Fraunces Tavern, where it all begins (and ends).

Meeting Place/Time: Meet Friday, October 17 at 9:30 a.m., at the 96th Street 1/2/3 subway exit, north side. We will use the restrooms in the Dinosaur Playground near the start of the walk. No lunch but we'll have a brief snack stop in Hudson River Park, roughly midway.

The walk will end at Fraunces Tavern, where you are invited to join in a celebratory toast to the completion of the Great Saunter Fall Challenge!

Bring: Water, snacks, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. We will walk rain or shine.

Return: Closest subways to Fraunces Tavern are the No. 1/South Ferry and the N/W/R Whitehall-South Ferry. Drop-out points along the way.
