Sign-in starts at 9:30 am. We will have coffee and snacks beforehand. The hike will begin around 10:00 am. We will have trivia checkpoints along the way so you don’t get lost, and also for a chance to win fun prizes. Afterwards, there will be lunch and a random prize drawing. Leashed dogs are welcome. The event is rain or shine or wildfire smoke. Sorry no refunds.
Register by September 30th to get a discount. Kids under 6 are free. Want even more discount? Recruit your friends and register as a Team!
For more information, email dcwaterforpeople@gmail.com. Sponsorship opportunities available! All proceeds from the event will be donated to Water For People to help reach Everyone Forever.
