Recovery Walk START Instructions
**NOTE LOCATION CHANGE**
New Walk Start Meeting Place:
Walnut Street Bridge Under the Balloon Arch
Exit the Great Plaza of Penn's Landing at river level to the right of the stage, then proceed to the Walnut Street Bridge as directed by our Volunteers. The Honor Guard will line up behind the yellow PRO-ACT Recovery Walks banner (8:15-8:30 am) for the annual Honor Guard group photo. Teams and others will then join in behind them for the Walk.
This new route involves a flight of stairs to reach the Walnut Street Bridge. For those who are physically challenged or using a stroller for an infant we have made an accommodation. Leave Penn's Landing by the Upper Chestnut Street gate and proceed across the Chestnut Street Bridge sidewalk (the road will be closed to us). Meet up with your teams and friends at the Walnut Street Bridge and Front Street. The Recovery Walk will begin from there and continue the original route up Walnut Street to Independence Hall and back.
Upon returning to Front Street, everyone will access Penn's Landing the same way they exited.
We will all come together in the Great Plaza where we will enjoy some fruit and water, the Post-Walk Program, visit the sponsor booths, mingle with friends, enjoy the entertainment, and celebrate the many joys of recovery.
We greatly apologize for this inconvenience
and trust that you understand this is necessitated by
circumstances completely beyond our control.
