Course Info:
The Walk 'n' Roll starts at Stony Brook Elementary School on Underpass Road in Brewster, MA, and ends at the entrance to Nickerson State Park.
Participants who wish to go only part of the distance can be picked up at the intersection of the Cape Cod Rail Trail and Thad Ellis Road; about a third of the route.
Those who wish may walk or roll from the beginning to the end and back again, or arrange to have someone pick them up at the park to return them to their car at the school.
Parking and accessible bathroom facilities are available at Stony Brook Elementary.
Nickerson State Park is open to visitors; it is wooded and has a rolling terrain.
