The Walk is about 3.5 miles long. Walkers are welcome to come to event site in Arvey Field in Grant Park and stay during the walk if the distance is too long for them to walk. Walkers are also welcome to turn around at any point in the walk if they feel they have gone as far as they comfortably. A map to the field and walk path info and other walk information can be downloaded here.
