Check out our interactive Google map for more details on locations for activities, food trucks, vendors, and more!
When you first open the map, everything at the park will be clumped together. Just zoom in to view everything in more detail. On the left-hand side, you can uncheck any layer you do not wish to view.

A little nervous about attending the Walk? Attending alone and want to meet fellow BARCC supporters? This is the place to be!

You’ll find the Walk with Me tent near the registration area. Chat with our staff and volunteers there, and they’ll connect you with someone to walk with. You can also find Walk with Me volunteers wearing yellow Walk with Me buttons around the park and route.

It will be the end of April in New England, so be sure to dress in layers. It’ll be cooler in the morning but then warm and sunny as you walk and hang out afterward for the post-event celebration. You should also wear comfortable shoes.

Complimentary granola bars, fruit, coffee, and water will be available while they last.

Bottled water and restrooms will be available at Constitution Beach as well as at a rest area located at the halfway point in Bremen Street Community Park on the walk route.
