Event comments

PPSF Walkers are cautioned to watch out for aircraft and stay clear of aircraft parking, taxi and runway locations. Although an easy walk along bike paths and streets, this route may be difficult for wheelchairs and strollers due to the lack of sidewalks and narrow shoulders on many streets. Dogs are welcome, but must be on leash.
