Morrow’s 2025 Manhattan Saunter for Sierra Leone

The Morrow Saunter 2025

Saturday, April 26 – New York City

Join us for a walk with purpose — around the entire perimeter of Manhattan! Whether you walk a few miles or go the full 32, every step supports our mission work with the United Methodist Church of Sierra Leone. It’s a day of movement, connection, and impact — and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Why We Walk

100% of proceeds from The Morrow Saunter support life-changing work in Sierra Leone. Since 2016, Morrow has helped fund a new grade school in Kenema — and it’s now nearly complete. The next chapter of our mission focuses on launching microfinance projects and adult education grants to further support poverty relief in the region.

There’s no entry fee — any donation is welcome. You can even ask friends and family to sponsor you per mile!

The Route

The full 32-mile loop around Manhattan is divided into four segments. Walk a little or a lot — it’s flexible, scenic, and all for a great cause. We follow the Shorewalkers Great Saunter route with custom meet-up points along the way.
