What To Expect
- We’re walking, rain or shine! The weather forecasts are calling for rain. We’re crossing our fingers tightly that the rain will clear before the walk begins at 10 am. We recommend you bring a poncho or jacket, just in case. Expect the temps to be in the upper 50s to low 60s (don’t worry, we’ll be performing a warm-up before we head out on the walk!).
- Check-in and registration opens at 9 am. The Walk begins at 10 am. There are 1-mile and 3-mile routes around downtown Fredericksburg. There will be signs posted on where to turn, as well as volunteers on the walk route to cheer you on and guide you in the right direction!
- There will be refreshments after the Walk. On your return to Maury Park, we will be providing free snacks and water.
- Stick around for fun activities! Stay and play! Enjoy live music, team photographs, corn hole, face painting, fresh popcorn and cotton candy, and more!
- Bring your furbaby! Dogs are totally welcome to join you on the Walk – for free of course! We will have watering stations for the pups that join us tomorrow. Please remember to be courteous and keep your dog leashed and pick up after any mess left behind.
- Make it a memorable moment! After the walk, you will see the photos on MHAfred’s social media. Use the hashtag #Walk4MentalWellness or tag Mental Health America of Fredericksburg to upload your own!
