Event Details

From around the world we all connect on the Linear Trail for Wallingford's 350+2 Jubilee!

First: Visit the Information Desk at the library to register for the walk and pin the map. Pin the map to show where you and/or your family have lived before coming to Wallingford. Register for the walk so we have a headcount for the refreshments and giveaways for children.

Second: Walk the Linear Trail with us! We have a fun morning planned for you. As we walk along the trail, you may want to share stories of your family. What are your family traditions? What are your favorite holiday dinners and desserts? The contributions of our workers and their skills have made Wallingford and its industries a thriving place to work and live. Where did you or your family members work when they came to Wallingford?

Choose your Walkathon loop*:

  • Short walk - Lake 1/2 mile
  • Medium walk - 1 mile
  • Long Walk - 4.2 miles roundtrip to Fireworks Island

*Children must be accompanied by an adult

After the Walkathon:

  • Meet at the Pavilion in Community Lake Park for discussion
  • Enjoy free refreshments
  • Children will receive a laminated 12x18 in. map of the World/USA
