The cross-state challenge will start in Lenox, Massachusetts, on May 15, 2022, and end a week later in Boston. The 138-mile route will be divided into three-to-six-mile legs, where participants can walk, run, bike, or roll their leg of the challenge at their own pace. People can choose to participate in one or several of the 33 different legs of the relay. With the exception of the first and last leg, participants can complete their leg at any point during Global Road Safety Week. There is no limit to the number of participants per leg.
The goal is to raise $500 for each leg of the relay. Beyond funding Safe Road Alliance’s Kids Speaking Up for Road Safety and Focus on Road Safety programs, 50% of the proceeds will go towards the America Walks Community Change Grants Program. This program is open to any municipality in MA and focuses on micro-grants that fund traffic-calming measures. Examples include painting crosswalks, neighbor ways, tactical urbanism measures, speed bumps, and pedestrian crossing signs. Towns and cities can also put the money towards larger projects.
