Walk Around Manhattan

It's the premier annual event of Shorewalkers, a New York non–profit dedicated to enhancing, enjoying and protecting the parks, promenades and paths throughout the New York metropolitan area.

The 20th Annual Great Saunter takes place the first Saturday in May each year — that's this coming Saturday, May 7 — and consists of a 12–hour, 32–mile stroll around the entire island of Manhattan.

Not up to the full hike?

No problema: you can join in during the day at any of five set locations staggered throughout the borough.

The beginning and finish line celebration take place at South Street Seaport in Lower Manhattan.

The walk starts at 7 a.m. at Fulton and South streets.
