Kings Island Edition

Welcome to the first of many blogs about the JDRF Walk to Cure Kings Island edition! Yes, that’s right, we are back at Kings Island this year with a better route, better food and just all around better-ness! (Not sure if that’s truly a word but as of today…it is!!) So let me give you the low down on the new and improved Walk to Cure Kings Island walk:

DATE/TIME: The walk is Saturday, June 1st and starts at 8am. Yes, it's early but just think...you'll get your exercise in early and have the rest of the day to play! 

ROUTE: This year the walk will be held IN the park; including a segment through the Dinosaurs Alive! exhibit (how cool!?!?!). Instead of starting in the parking lot, as in years past, we will actually start and end in the Timberwolf Amphitheater. For those of you wanting to know your walking mileage…it’s about 3K in length. Oh, and this is important…listen up…You DO NOT need a KI park ticket to participate in the walk!! Did you get that? NO TICKET NEEDED to WALK!!  (Yes!! Very IMPORTANT information!)

REGISTERING: You may ask, “Do I really need to register to walk…and everybody on my team?” YES!! Please do register everyone…including the kids! This helps us know how much food and drinks to order. In registering, you are eligible for special benefits…what are they? You’ll have to check back to see! “What if I don’t register, can I still walk?” … of course!! But, really, register! It doesn’t take that long and we really need to know how much food to have on hand to feed our famished walkers!

FUNDRAISING: If you would like a T-shirt raise $100/walker. IF you would like to stay for the day with a ticket to Kings Island raise $200/walker. If you can't stay for the day the ticket is good for you to come back until June 30th.

So I've given you SOME of the details...don't want to overwhelm you! First thing first...go REGISTER!!! Here is the link to register. Seriously, go do it!! 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact our walk expert extraordinaire, Nick Wagner at the JDRF Southwest Ohio office at nwagner@jdrf.org or 513-793-3223.

Stay tuned for some more details to be blogged about soon...

hey...why you still here? Go register!! 

Many thanks:
