Welcome back to our Kings Island Edition of Walk Talk...so if you read part I then you have already registered for the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes Kings Island Walk for June 1st. If you haven't you can register HERE. Go ahead...I'll wait...
Great!! You've registered!! You are on your way to joining hundreds of others united for Walking for a Cure! Part I covered basic questions about the route, registering and fundraising minimums. Today I'll cover some more basic information you need to have for Walk Day.
DATE/TIME: Saturday, June 1st at 8am (yes, I already posted this but figure it's worth repeating!)
PARKING/COST: Parking is FREE for walk participants and will be open at 6:45am. Whew!! That's early! But for you early risers this will be no problem. If you arrive after 8:15am...you will PAY so don't get there late!!! Please enter through the park's main parking toll and park in DROP TOWER rows 32-41. Basically look for the mass of parked cars...unless your that early riser and your the first to park...
ENJOYING THE PARK: So you've finished the walk and want to stay but you didn't reach the fundraising minimum...NO WORRIES!! You can purchase a discounted ticket of $32.99 at the Kings Island box office, on walk day, from 8:30 am to 11 am. AWESOME!! Oh!! And you can use your Kings Island Season Passes that day too!! Thank you Kings Island!! No reason to not lace up those walking shoes and come on out!!
FOOD: You've just walked 3K and your starving...you forgot to eat breakfast because you were rushing everyone out the door to get your FREE parking. Too bad! JUST KIDDING!!! Of course we are going to feed you!! This year, food will be available AFTER the walk starting around 9am. Hot breakfast sandwiches and assorted fruit for all registered walkers. YUM! We will have beverages (Coca-Cola products, lemonade, tea and my personal life line....COFFEE!!!) available beginning at 7am.
PERK ALERT!!! PERK ALERT!! PERK ALERT!!
On Walk Day...all walkers who register BY MAY 24th will be given a meal ticket upon entrance to the event...this is HUGE!! Especially if you are staying at the park for the remainder of the day. Please make sure to register walkers of ALL ages to take advantage of this perk! (are you sensing a theme in these posts....registering?!)
Again, if you have any questions about registering please contact our Walk Expert Extraordinaire, Nick Wagner at nwagner@jdrf.org.
Be on the lookout for my next post on "Now I've registered...what now?!"
Many thanks to:
