Details

The Great Manhattan Bridge Walk - walk across and between the 17 walkable bridges that connect to Manhattan Island - about 33 miles in 11 hours. This a joint walk with AMC and Shorewalkers and is listed on both Meetups, sign up on either group.

Bring water, snacks, lunch, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. We will take two lunch breaks, the first at Macombs Dam Park across from Yankee Stadium and the second at Ichan Stadium on Randall's Island. There aren't many bottle fillers along the way so bring extra water or buy some along the way.

Bikes, ebikes, and mopeds use the bridge walkways, and bridge intersections are disordered messes with aggressive drivers - walk carefully.
