This year’s Walk will meet at the city’s oldest palm tree (on Exposition Park Drive just off Figueroa Street, at the West 39th Street intersection.) at 9 a.m. on Nov. 23. We’ll walk through Exposition Park to Vermont Ave., and head north to Washington Blvd. which we’ll take to Culver City. From there, we’ll head north — first on Overland, and then we’ll move over (via Pico) to Westwood. And then we’ll end at the Bruin statue on the UCLA campus.All told, this year’s Walk will clock about 14 and a half miles — which makes it a bit shorter than most of our downtown-to-the-ocean walks, but it also gives you more time to explore — especially in the afternoon, as we walk on the vibrant Westwood Blvd.
If you're new to the event, here's the basics: This is an unofficial event, which means you're walking on your own accord. (Obviously, as there's no fee of any kind.) It sounds like a long walk, but it's an all-day event where people talk their time to explore, eat, meet and have fun. You can walk as much or as little as you want. You can walk as fast or as slow as you want. You can meet us half way. It's all up to you.
The goal is to see and explore you city on foot, building community along the way. Bring your friends, tell your neighbors. We're a little grassroots event that gets bigger each year. If you have ideas or contacts for businesses and restaurants we should visit along the way, please let us know!
We’ll have a PDF map, as well as lunch options, listed soon as well.
Questions? Feel free to email greatlawalk@mail.com. We hope to see you on November 23, as we celebrate community and get a chance to interact with our fellow Angelenos!
