Join with the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route, Inc. and America's Walking Club as we explore the sites, history, and especially the physical challenges of the 1781 journey from Rhode Island to the Battle of Yorktown in Virginia. The French army walked back north in 1782.  Locations are associated with this two-year span.

What events qualify?  The list is only now being populated to this site as clubs learn about this program and look at their directions to see if they qualify.  Qualifying events do not necessarily go on the current national driving route.  This was a "corridor" of activity for two armies on the march.  There are historic activities that happened between 1781 and 1783 on both sides of the driving route.

"YRE" means "Year-Round Event" with the trail available to do anytime you want.  Start at a physical site or online using the AVA's "Online Start Box."

"TRADITIONAL" means that this is a social festival of walking/cycling where participants gather on one or more days for fellowship and fitness.

Activities are on portions of the actual driving trail, or go by a site specifically mentioned in the W3R website.
Some activities are on the actual 18th century "King's Highway" route.  Here are the states along the trail:

Rhode Island:

Massachusetts:

Connecticut:

New York:

New Jersey:

Pennsylvania:

Delaware:

Maryland:

Washington, D.C.:

Virginia:
