Walk For Wellness, Food Justice and Health in Our Communities

Thanks for registering for GreenStar's Walk for Wellness and joining your community in reclaiming our food system. Now that you've pledged to walk up to five miles we hope that friends, family and colleagues will share your commitment to building a healthy community and will pledge to support you. The goal for individuals is to raise $150 in pledges; or if you're in a team of five or more members, to raise $100 per team member.

Below are some resources to get you started.

Route Map

The walk begins at 10am at The Space (700 West Buffalo Street, at the corner of Court Street and 13). Please arrive 15 minutes early to check-in, get a t-shirt and a route map. Early registration and check-in's available starting at 9am for walkers who plan to walk at a leisurely pace and want to start early.

Way2Go has arranged to have a van and driver take folks back to their cars from Neighborhood Pride. The van will pick up from the Block Party between 11am and 1pm.

A more detailed map will be available to walkers on the day of the event, courtesy of the Cayuga Waterfront Trail.
