What to Bring to Opening Ceremony

* Water bottle(s)! These are essential and will NOT be supplied.
Wide-mouth bottles make for easier filling along the route.
* Your gear, sleeping bag and everything you'll need for the
Walk.

* SATURDAY route opens immediately following the Opening Ceremony
and closes at 7:30 pm.
* SUNDAY route opens at 7:30am; you must be out of the Wellness
Village by 8:30am; route closes at 3:00 pm.

Rest & Quick Stops &
Pacing along the Route

* REST STOPS OR QUICK STOPS will be located approximately every
2-3 miles. Information regarding the location of Stops,
including mileage, will be available to all Walkers in the
Breakfast Area at the Opening Ceremony site and at the Wellness
Village.
* Whether you plan to complete 13.1 or 26.2 miles (or somewhere in
between), please be sure you are pacing yourself accordingly.
Each Rest Stop and Quick Stop must close on time--if you
are not past a Stop before it closes, you will be transported by
bus to the next Rest Stop or to the Wellness Village.
* Please cooperate with any Crew members or Avon Walk staff who
ask you to get into a sweep vehicle or bus; remember,
they're doing it to keep you safe! And most importantly,
please remember this: walking more miles won't help anyone
suffering from breast cancer, nor will it bring us closer to a
cure... you've already done that!
