World Beyond War – Walk for Peace 10K
Madison for a World BEYOND War invites you to walk with us on frozen Lake Mendota! We will walk between Tenney Beach, the Frozen Assets Festival, UW Winter Carnival & Picnic Point. As the Buddhist Walk for Peace finishes their 2,300 mile journey from Texas to DC, and the Trump administration has just bypassed Congress to send another $6 billion of weapons to Israel, we will walk here in Madison to call for war abolition.
Why We Walk:
- Stop arming Israel, Ukraine & the rest of the world
- No to militarism & killing anywhere
- Close military bases & abolish war
Walk for all or any part. The lake is magnificent now! Ice is 10+ inches thick. Partly sunny & high of 26° on Saturday. Register here if you can, or just show up on the ice at any of the times and places below and look for us and our banners.
Wear snow pants, lots of warm layers, hat & scarf. There is snow on top of the ice, but in some places it’s bare ice, so boots with grippy tread or yaktrax recommended.
