FREEDOM WALK/RUN Day

Two Important Points
1) Event day is NOT the day to experiment with anything new. The shoes, socks and gear you wear, the food you eat, and the sports drink you sip, all should be familiar items you have used successfully at least once on a long walk.
2) On the day of the run/walk, participants will be informed of check points/resting points

TIPS

CHECK IN
Check in for the walk and to receive your tshirts to wear over your long sleeves/current shirt will begin at 9AM, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 17TH at the JUSTIN HERMAN PLAZA on the corner of Steuart Street and Market Street. Details of the route will be clarified shortly during the walk

During check in, we will provide you: Freedom Run Tshirts if you have not arranged to pick them up earlier, and a runner/walker number. Keep the number until the end (check out) so that we can account for you and your safety. Should you decide to not join us at the end for any reason, you must contact your point person.

CHECK OUT
Check out at SAFEHS table so we know you are safe! Once you’ve finished the run/walk, you’ll want to rest, drink, and eat. Walk around slowly and stretch when you’re done. If you sit down immediately upon finishing your muscles will begin to stiffen. Drink. Water is your first priority!
Eat solid foods. Stick with carbohydrates--fruit, cereal, bagels, pasta--for the first few hours.
Relax.
