Transportation and Parking:
As the Walk date moves closer, we will have more information regarding transportation and parking available. Please check back at a later date.
We strongly encourage you and your Walk team to take the Metro. The closest Metro stop is Navy Yard (Green Line) and will drop walkers off just a half of a block away from the Registration Tent. Metro has a great website to help you plan your trip if you are not familiar with the different Metro stations. The metro opens at 7:00 am on Sundays, so plan your transportation accordingly.
Suggested Items to Bring:
• Walk Donations! – Drop off your donations at the Registration Tent located just outside the Center Field Gate on N Street SE.
• Walking shoes, layers, comfortable clothing
• Camera
• An extra Walk Team T-Shirt to enter into our T-Shirt Contest
Food & Snacks:
While some food and snacks are provided, please bring any necessary items for your loved ones with strict dietary needs.
Registration:
All walkers should report to the Registration Tent located just outside Center Field Gate on N Street, SE. Registration will open at 8:30 am. All Walk donations must be dropped off at this booth.
Teams of walkers who have already registered online before Walk Day do NOT need to bring the whole team to the registration table. The team captain is allowed (and encouraged) to register the whole team on Walk Day to cut down on congestion.
Walkers who raise $100 or more will receive a JDRF Walk t-shirt ticket from registration. Your t-shirts will be available for pick up at the t-shirt booth.
