LOOP 1

Mills 50/Colonialtown
7:00am SHARP

Estimated: ~12.5K steps

New for 2025! We start in Mills 50 and then head to Colonialtown. Historic bungalows, leafy streets, and early-morning vibes trick your brain into thinking this will be easy.

LOOP 2

Downtown
~9:45am

Estimated: ~12.5K

Downtown brings skyline views, street buzz, and enough chaos to entertain you as your step count is mounting. It’s loud, lively, and perfect for pretending you're still fresh.

LOOP 3

College Park
~12:30pm

Estimated: ~12.5K steps

College Park is the mid-day groove loop: cute houses, shady streets, and just enough comfort to keep you from quitting. This is where you find your pace… or your second personality.

LOOP 4

Mead Gardens
~3:15pm

Estimated: ~12.5K steps

We end with the prettiest loop on purpose. Nature is used as a distraction. This loop delivers a touch of serenity that gives way to the strength you need to finish.

Those shirts are DOPE!

We hope that you love and cherish your shirt forever, but if that’s not the case, please consider donating it back to the event to re-gift to a future walker. Sustainability is one of our event values, so we like to reduce, recycle, reuse where we can.
