experience. Click on any events shown below in our Event Calendar to get more information.
Get In Step Sessions
Start your Weekend off on the right foot! Get In Step Sessions are a great introduction to The Weekend for new and prospective Walkers, providing a great overview of the event and offering the
opportunity to have any final questions answered.
Registered Walkers - Expand your Circle for Hope and bring a friend who is new to the Weekend. After the orientation, they are sure to join you on your amazing journey and since you referred them, you will get a $100 Hope Credit towards your fundraising when they register!
Training Walks
To help you build your fitness and endurance for The Weekend, we organize hundreds of volunteer-led training walks of varying lengths and difficulties. It’s a great way to get in shape and connect with your community of Walkers.
Please visit the Event Calendar below to find a Walk that best fits your schedule and training plan. Then show up and enjoy the fresh air and good company. In the event of bad weather, please contact the Walk Leader to find if the Training Walk is cancelled.
