Upcoming Training Activities
One of our fellow Overnight Walkers, Gerald Matusiewicz, is part of an organization that specializes in promoting and preserving the waterfronts of New York City. Their mission is to hike along the shoreline of the metropolitan area and what better way to train for The Overnight than to join Gerald and his colleagues on multiple hikes throughout New York City. See below for more information!
Below are some upcoming Training Walks Gerald and the New York Shorewalkers organization agreed to share with our Overnight Community to help prepare for the Overnight Walk. For more information and questions about Shorewalkers, please contact Gerald directly at [email protected]. Please note that each training walk has a different leader who you can contact if you have questions regarding that specific training walk.
