WALK-A-THON EVENT INFORMATION
May 18, 2024

WHERE SHOULD I GO ON SATURDAY MORNING?

The walk-a-thon is being held around Lake Como at Como Park in Saint Paul. Our check-in table and event kickoff will be held just outside the Como Lakeside Pavilion at 1360 Lexington Pkwy N. You can park at the adjacent lot. See the map below for reference.

WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?

Check-in begins at 10am. Please arrive between 10am and 10:45am.

 

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

Just you and whatever you’ll need to walk! If you have a mobile device, you may need to log into your OneCause account for our giving moment at the beginning of the event.

 

WHERE DO I GET MY LUNCH?

Your meal selection will be ready at the Nanny’s Jamaican Kitchen tent right next to the check-in table. Food will be available starting at 10:15am and you’ll be given a ticket at check-in to exchange for your meal.

 

HOW LONG DO I WALK FOR?

As much or as little as you’d like. Once our kick-off occurs, attendees are free to walk along Como Lake and the nearby paths as much as they want. The official COFHED-chartered course around the lake ends at 2pm.
