Registration Form

    1. Raise Pledges! Set a goal for yourself or your team and enlist friends, family, and co-workers to help you achieve it. Sponsors can pledge per kilometer or give an outright donation. Plan to turn in your donations on the day of the hike or make your donation online here. You can share this link on your social media along with your team name for your friends and family to make donations on your behalf.
    2. Check-in! Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., bring your pledge total with you. You must check in even if you have pre-registered for the hike. The walk will proceed rain or shine.
    3. Enjoy the Hike! This "Fun Walk" is designed for your enjoyment whether you are a leisure stroller, exercise pacer, or race walker. Participate with family, friends, co-workers and canines!
    4. Win Prizes! Crossing the finish line makes you eligible for a variety of awards, but those supporting by attendance and collecting pledges will also qualify for a variety of prizes. All awards will be given after the hike. So, if you're unable to join in the walk, find yourself some friends to talk with and enjoy lunch while waiting for all the hikers to return.

All pledges are due the day of the hike. Donations can be made online or given on the day of the event at check-in.
