Little Red Lighthouse Celebration: First Day of the Fall Challenge

Join us to celebrate the start of the Shorewalkers Fall Challenge (October 3rd to 18th) and walk with us to the Little Red Lighthouse Celebration. We'll walk through much of Riverside Park in recognition of the efforts of the Riverside Park Conservancy (RPC). RPC is this year's recipient of the Fall Challenge fees.

Meet at the Eleanor Roosevelt statue at the corner of West 72nd Street and Riverside Drive. (Take the #s 1, 2 or 3 train to the 72nd Street Station and walk west towards the Hudson River). We'll meet at 9:15 with a prompt walk start of 9:30. We'll head north along the promenade and wind our way down to the Hudson River and Greenway to the Little Red Lighthouse.

We'll stop at a restroom near the start and pass a few others along the way. Please bring hat, sunscreen, water and a snack.

We will walk to join the RPC celebration at the Little Red Lighthouse. Please feel free to stay and enjoy the event. We are staffing a Shorewalkers table.

You can head out of the park on your own to 181st Street (A Train) to return home. And for those who wish Maureen will lead walkers back to 145th Street to reconnect to the #1 Train. (The return walk to #145th and the #1 train is about 2 miles.)

Contact Carole at 917-407-1166 anytime and Maureen (day of) at 718-954-1581.

Take the Great Saunter Fall Challenge. Register here to walk 32 miles over 16 days, starting today Oct. 3. Help Shorewalkers support our parks by donating $10 to participate park, with this year's fees going to Riverside Park Conservancy. This walk will count for 5.5 to 7.5 miles of your total. You keep your own miles on an honor system. (Set your Strava or walk app to grab the miles to and from your subway start and finish locations.)
