The 2010 Cape Cod Sponsored Walk will take place at the end of May each year for eight nights. The 100km Walk takes place over five days in May and June each year in Massachusetts, USA to coincide with the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend. The walkers will undertake a 12 mile trek over five days on beautifulscenic routes in Cape Cod, with an optional shorter distance of 6 milesper day, based on fitness level. Your day will start at 8.00 a.m approx with walks commencing after breakfast. and finishing at lunch time with afternoons and evenings free. This will give everybody the opportunity to spend time with family and friends or visit the many shopping malls. One of the routes will usually includea boat trip to an outside location i.e. Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket,Hyannis, Newport etc. where the views are quite spectacular. Information on Walk Routes will be provided at a later date. Each walker commits to raise a minimum of €4,000 prior to travelling to the US.
