Recovery Walks 2026 is cancelled
due to weather.
It is with regret, and a deep concern for the safety of all involved that we have to cancel the Recovery Walks! The safety and wellbeing of our Walkers, Sponsors, Volunteers, Staff and guests are our highest priority. The high winds at the Navy Yard are consistent and forecast to continue all day, and gusts that pose hazards to temporary outdoor structures, as well as potential flooding. We’ve made the difficult decision to cancel. We are so grateful to everyone who help plan and who were ready to join us in this cherished tradition – and don’t make this decision lightly. We look forward to celebrating with each of you next September!

Information for Walkers:
We are so excited for this Saturday for Recovery Walks! 2026. Registration opens at 8:00 am on Saturday, September 26th at the Marine Parade Grounds, Navy Yard Philadelphia.
The address for the Walk is 4747 South Broad Street, Philadelphia and we will be on the Marine Parade Grounds of the Navy Yard. Public transportation is available on a limited weekend schedule by SEPTA Bus Route 17.
