| Trail / Event
Description: Moorestown is a NJ suburb near Philadelphia, located between
Cherry Hill and Mt. Holly. From its beginning in the 1860's, Moorestown has
been a community of homes rather than industry. The Estate (City) Route
(10K) will pass stately mansions in the quaint downtown area and then trace
the evolution of homes from modest to ever larger dwellings as the trail
moves away from the town center. Money Magazine rated Moorestown as
the best town in the US in which to live. There is a second sanctioned 12 KM
walk from the same start point. |
