This is a long walk adventure!
We'll gather by the Torresdale Regional Rail station, with an optional breakfast at Three Monkeys Café beforehand. We'll follow the Delaware River border towards Pier 68, with many options to peel off as needed.
Many of us will be arriving via the SEPTA regional rail train (Trenton Line) scheduled to arrive at 9:05 (for breakfast) or 10:05 (for walk start) – keep an eye out for fellow walkers on the last / rear car of the train!

IMPORTANT NOTE re: event start times & SEPTA transit
Our walk segment start times are coordinated with SEPTA schedules. The current funding landscape and potential service cuts may impact this project. Please contact your elected representatives to advocate for public transit, and keep an eye out for updates from us; event start times may need to be adjusted in response to any SEPTA schedule changes. If a regional rail train is delayed, the start time may be as well.
