Walk Eastwood Challenge

Eastwood is Syracuse’s largest and most walkable neighborhood. To prove it, we’re walking all 99 streets, 43 miles of roads, this summer. And we’re challenging our neighbors to get out and walk every street in Eastwood with us! Come join us and get to know Eastwood.

This is our 2nd Annual Walk Eastwood Challenge. Get started now! You can track your walk on a paper map, using this list of Eastwood streets, or using one of many free walk tracking apps.

This year we’re using the honor system. 2024 Walk Eastwood Challenge shirts must be ordered by October 1 to pick yours up at our 2024 ENA Annual Meeting on October 29.
