- The walk is on an outdoor paved path, but it can get buggy - we suggest wearing bug spray, sunscreen, and wearing hats. There are a few Civic Center provided restrooms along the route. Take your time - the walk is not a race nor it is timed.
1:00 p.m. - Event Concludes
Teams that raise over $5,000 will earn a VIP tent and some complimentary, light snacks provided by MPF. Tents will be located on the field and are approximately 10 feet x 10 feet in size. Several folding chairs will also be placed under the tent for your guests. As we near the Walk date, we will update this section with the names of team that have raised $5,000 or more. In 2024, 2 teams earned a VIP tent.
Inclement Weather:
In the case of severe weather, we will update the Walk homepage and Facebook on or before the morning of the event in case of cancellation. The Walk is a rain or shine event and will only be delayed/cancelled for severe weather.
