Let’s celebrate things looking up in 2021 with a running or walking tour of our town!

The Yardley Parks and Rec Board is sponsoring a self-directed running or walking tour of Yardley Borough. Our town has many great streets and neighborhoods that you might have missed if you mainly stick to Main Street or Afton Avenue. Let’s celebrate the coming end of our challenging year with a run or stroll through Yardley. The maps below are all the streets of Yardley Boro. How many can you discover this year?

There are 3 ways you can participate as a runner or walker:

  • Walk or Run on your own [no cost]

  • Show Your Yardley Pride with a Yardley Step-by-Step T-shirt to wear after your adventure - $10

  • We are helping to raise funds for the replacement of the Mary Yardley Footbridge. Individuals or Teams can secure sponsorships for their adventure. Individuals who raise $50 or more and Teams who collectively raise an average of $50 per member will receive complementary Yardley Step-by-Step T-Shirts.
