Walk Route

The Walk route is approximately 5.8 kilometers (3.6 miles). A shorter Golden Mile route is also an option. (A woman or young girl in Africa or Asia walks an average distance of 6k every day to collect water, which weighs on average 44 pounds, and takes about 4-5 hours. We walk because they walk – the millions who walk every day for their very existence.)
