Question 1

What should I bring to the event?

Accepted Answer

Fluids(32 to 64 ounces), snacks or a small meal are recommended for most events.  Some walks have planned stops for provisions.  Depending on weather and route, you may consider a hat, sunscreen, extra socks, rain poncho, umbrella, insect repellent, first aid or foot care.

Question 2

Will the event be cancelled if it rains?

Accepted Answer

FreeWalkers mostly work with the weather the day provides, but occasionally an event will be rescheduled or cancelled if there is the expectation of substantial rainfall or dangerous conditions.  Registrants will always be emailed of such changes.  If no notice is provided, the walk is a go!

Question 3

What if I cannot complete the walk?

Accepted Answer

FreeWalkers are free to walk as much of the route as they choose.  There are often optional endpoints where transit is available.  Uber and other options can be considered.  If you do leave the walk, it is best to let the walk coordinator know, so the group does not wait or look for you.

Question 4

How do I get back after finishing the walk?

Accepted Answer

Most FreeWalks start and/or end at mass transit points for ease of access and return.  If driving to the event, you often may park at the start and return by transit, or park at the end and ride to the start, allowing a quick getaway.  Check the event description for details.

Question 5

Can I bring my dog?  Can I bring my children?

Accepted Answer

Generally, yes, but pets and children may be less able to tolerate a longer distance.  Walks that include indoor segments will require walkers with pets to wait outside, of course.

Question 6

Do I need to print my ticket for the event?

Accepted Answer

No need.  You will be checked in at the event by providing your name.
