Mysterious landscape in NE Philly
In its 5th year and most public incarnation yet, this next evolution of Walk Around Philadelphia invites Philadelphians to discover the city by walking its edges. 

Contributions to the fundraising effort will help make this project more accessible to participants by supporting the sliding scale, stipends and ASL interpretation for the final report-back event.

Groups are self-organized, choose their own routes, and can undertake the walk on their own time. Completing the entire perimeter has taken, on average, ~100 miles over 5.5 days. The walk can be broken into smaller segments and completed over months or years.

Participants will be provided a four person perimeter-walking kit that will include limited-edition perimeter passports, printed maps, reflective safety belts and more. Online content will provide additional maps and resources.

Registration is sliding scale to support a breadth of participation, and a limited number of stipends up to $500/person will be made available to help make the walk accessible to those needing to take time away from income-earning activities to participate.

A special virtual reportback gathering on October 4th will bring all of the participant groups together to share what they’ve discovered and celebrate what they’ve accomplished.

Ways to support this project:

  • A – Make a financial contribution right here
  • B – Spread the word to interested participants
  • C – Identify potential candidates for stipends
  • D – All of the above

Thank you!
