The Long Walk: 42 Miles in 4:13

Last Sunday, former BlackBooker and current Tumblr mandarin Matt Hackett reprised 2009's Flashwalk—a 1-day, 42-mile urban hike through all five boroughs of Manhattan, not to mention the wilds of New Jersey (since the only walkable bridge to Staten Island is in Bayonne). Long walks have become something of a microtrend in their own right, and this one drew the usual mixed bag of perambulatory enthusiasts. Also in attendance: an excitable MMA fighter and our own videographer, Kirk Larsen, who made the entire trek with an HD camera strapped to his chest.
