Many of you have inquired about walking the entire Jack Markell Trail, expressing a curiosity as to where it goes and the sights along the way.

This hike will start in the middle of the trail. We will walk a total of about 6-miles from the Suburban Little League in New Castle to the Wilmington Riverfront, at the Russell Peterson Wildlife Refuge Center. This course is all on asphalt and boards, is mostly flat, and has a couple of hills. If you would like to walk less than 6 miles, you can turn around at anytime.
