Frequently Asked Questions

Registration

Is there a deadline to register for the event?

Walk-ins are welcome, but we strongly encourage you to register prior to the event to save time in the registration line and have more time to fundraise and spread awareness before the walk!

What is the registration fee?

The registration fee is $35 for runners and walkers.

Do I have to register my child(ren)?

Our run/walks are a family event for all ages – children do not have to register. However, event T-shirts will be given to those who register and fundraise a minimum of $100. Also, if the child is participating as a timed runner, they will need to register.

After I set up my fundraising page, how can I make changes?

Once you register, you can login to your Participant Center here and will be able to customize your page, send emails to family and friends, add photos, and more.
