Astoria Park Loop Trail

Join us for WE ACT’s* Earth Day 5K Fun Run. WJOA will be gathering at the Astoria Park Loop Trail on April 18th to run, walk, skip, dance, and cheer as part of the 5K. Walking around the loop 2.5 times will bring us to our 5K goal. You can also participate virtually, exercising in your own home, walking around your neighborhood, or even marathoning environmental documentaries on your couch.

Location: Meet at 23rd Avenue and 19th street, right at the entrance of Astoria Park. For virtual participants, meet us anywhere in the world, and make sure to post on social media with #WEACT5K and #WJOA. Tag us on Instagram @wanderingjewsofastoria.

You can find the Facebook event here. Contact Marina with any questions. Social and physical distancing protocols will be practiced - all participants must wear a mask. Please do not attend if you are feeling sick or if you have tested positive for COVID-19.
