This year's route:

The walk route has 1, 2 or 3 mile options. At the ½ mile mark (water station) participants can do a u-turn if they want to complete 1 mile, same at the 1-mile mark (water station/portable toilet) – participants can U-turn to complete a 2-mile walk, and at the 1 ½ mile mark (water station/portable toilet) they U-turn to complete a 3-mile walk. Most of the walk is on the Pheasant Branch Conservancy Trail. This was our original walk route (not what we have used the past few years). Construction is finished on the trails.
