Walk Day FAQs

Where can I find information on parking?

How far is the walk and where is it?

The walk is 2.5 miles long along flat, paved sidewalk with no stairs. It is a down-and-back loop. Route support volunteers will be stationed along the route to provide instructions.

  

If we raise enough money, will my team get shirts?
