Event Description
This 1 mile walk/run/roll is hosted by both The Counseling Collective and Forward Motion Counseling, with an effort to stand up for reproductive rights, raise funds, and move together as a community. We are therapists who care deeply about reproductive rights and strongly believe in the power of community organizing. It is FREE to sign up and donations to Planned Parenthood of any amount are welcome. Donations are not required to join us. Can't make it, but would like to donate? No problem! Please see donation instructions below.
THE WALK/RUN/ROLL DETAILS: This 1 mile walk/run/roll will take place along the beautiful Hudson River in Peekskill, NY. The Fall foliage is an added bonus to this scenic route. It will begin at The Riverfront Park near the Peekskill train station. We will gather at The Golden Mean scuplture (the bronze swimmer sculpture at the riverfront). The route is the walking path along the river and is wheelchair/stroller accessible. All bodies are welcome, whether you walk, run, or roll! There will be a halfway turnaround point and we will return back to The Riverfront Park at the same location we started. Elevation gain is 22 ft. (it is a mostly flat route but there is an incline). There are porta potties at the park and bathrooms in nearby restaurants. This 1 mile walk/run/roll is not a timed race and does not include bibs or aid stations. Please bring whatever you need to stay comfortable and hydrated. Feel free to bring signs and dress in green to show your support for abortion/reproductive rights. We encourage you to enjoy the local Peekskill shops and restaurants afterward! If you are joining us in person, don't forget to complete your registration and sign the waiver for the event by clicking on the Sign Up button at the top of the home page.
Parking is available at the Peekskill train station lot or street parking. If you bring your furry friend, we kindly ask your pet remain on leash.
