Event information

Restrooms at the start point next to the Bala Cynwyd Park Parking Lot. ***Note in the past the walking route included crossing the Schuylkill River via the "mule bridge"; but access to this "interesting, some would say challenging" bridge from the Bala Cynwyd side of the river has been closed.
