Course:

The route is 1 mile in length along a paved-path. More information coming soon about a longer route option.  

Water will be distributed at the start of the route.  Hero signs are visible along the route.  Take and share photos of your Hero signs. 

Wagons, walkers, strollers, and dogs (on a 6ft or less leash) are welcomed along the route on the health center grounds.

Because the route is located on an outdoor paved path, we suggest wearing bug repellent, sunscreen, and a hat.  There is a restroom located at the health center.  

Take your time – the walk is not a race and it is not timed.

Note: there is no expectation to walk the route!  Feel free to mingle and connect with others, visit the sponsor tables, photobooth, or the kids korner.
