It’s finally here, folks! The clock’s a-ticking for the Walking Classes Unite walkathon.
We start off at the Labour Statue at 4:30 PM. There will be an inaugural to-do to kick off the event.
The route followed thereafter is along Marina, within 7 KM. This ends up bringing our determined pedestrians to Pattinapakkam, Foreshore Estate, for a street play and some music by way of a closing ceremony.
That’s the brief overview – watch this space for details! Just to quickly clear the obvious questions:
What are we walking for?
- securing pedestrian rights. redefining urban spaces. making urban transport equitable. raising awareness.
How are we walking?
- Any way you like it! But with a clear way of indicating that we’re doing it for pedestrian access (funky headgear!).
Who is walking?
- You. And everyone you tell. Everyone who cares. Whoever cares will come. Spread the word!
Why walk?
- It’s fun. And it’s good for the soul. Not for the sole of your shoe. The idea is to shoo away such a state of affairs. We walk for a fair state.
When and Where you already know: Labour Statue, 4:30 PM, 21st September (Sunday).
See you there! To register, mail ped.access@gmail.com.

Keep walking, Johnnie!
