DAY OF EVENT

We are looking forward to celebrating with you at Walk MS! To help you prepare for the big event, we wanted answer any questions you may have about what to do prior to the event and where to go once you arrive. Let us know if you have additional questions by emailing wai@nmss.org or calling 1-800-344-4867, or 509-482-2022. Let's get started:

Q:  Where do I check in?
A:  There will be a check-in area at the event where you can check in, drop off your donations, and pick up any fundraising prizes you may have earned.* 2013 will be the ast year that participants who raise $75 or more will receive a Walk MS t-shirt (in 2014 it will be $100); participants who raise $150 or more will receive a long sleeve t-shirt.

* Fundraising prize certificates for participants raising $250 or more will be mailed or emailed after the pledge deadline.

Q: What do I need to bring to the walk?
A: Please bring any last minute donations with you to Registration. You are also welcome to bring any personal items you might need for the duration of the event, such as snacks or an umbrella.

Q: What is the pledge minimum?
A:  While there is no minimum to participate, fundraising is encouraged for Walk MS. All donations are welcome so that we can continue to fund local programs and services to people with MS.  Participants who raise $75 or more will receive an official Walk MS event t-shirt.

Q: I'm walking and my family will be joining me. Should they register for Walk MS?
A: Everyone participating in Walk MS should register for the event. If you like, you can create your own Walk MS team for your family. Simply find your local Walk MS page, and click 'Start a Team' – you can register your entire family from there!

Q: May I walk at more than one Walk MS site?
A: Sure, we would love to have you! Be sure to register for easy check-in on Walk day.

Q: I will be out of town during Walk MS. Can I still participate as a Virtual Walker?
A: Yes! You do not have to physically walk or even be at the event to participate in Walk MS. You can be a Virtual Walker as an individual, team participant or as a volunteer. As a Virtual Walker, you can raise money and will be eligible to receive the same benefits and prizes as walkers.

Q: What should I Wear?
A:  Be sure to wear comfortable shoes. We walk rain or shine. Layer items of clothing. Weather can range from cold and rainy to very hot. You may want to bring a favorite snack or food items. Food is available at the event, but it’s important to note that individual’s taste range and if there are items that you prefer please bring them. If you have a special diet, you are encouraged to bring food items compatible with your diet.
