Just like that, 15 years have gone by and FreeWalkers is celebrating!!!

We are so proud and excited to have walked thousands of miles with incredible people for fifteen years! We've built lasting friendships, explored backroads and trails, strolled through historical sites, past city art, across beaches, and so much more.

FreeWalkers was conceived in South Orange when Paul Kiczek met with Mike Kruimer and David Ascher at an East Coast Greenway Alliance meeting. We therefore thought it was quite fitting to celebrate in the town where it all began. And we would love for you to join us!
