The Kruimer Walk: XNJ

Join us for The Kruimer Walk, a flat and easy 13-mile trek between New Brunswick and Metropark in Iselin along the East Coast Greenway. The walk is FREE and open to everyone. Join us early for coffee and donuts at Dunkin’ near the start.

This urban walk occurs mainly on sidewalks along fairly busy roads, taking you through the interesting town of Highland Park and older neighborhoods in Edison. We'll pass through Roosevelt Park and arrive at the Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park, where we will conclude with an optional guided tour of the iconic site.

The walk should take approximately 4.5 hours. It serves as a connecting segment between the Great Canal Walk and The Big Walk, enabling participants to complete the Cross-Jersey Walking Challenge.
