The health of our supporters and wish families is of great importance to us. We will be following CDC, state and local guidelines for this outdoor event. Participants will be updated if there are any changes to the event format. All participants will be required to sign a COVID-19 specific waiver during registration and the day of the event.

Minnehaha Park will be open to all. There is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 or related strains in any public place where people are present. This event will take place in an environment open to the public and Make-A-Wish Minnesota and our venue partners cannot prevent you from being exposed to, contracting, transmitting, or spreading COVID-19 and similar diseases while attending or participating in the event.

Virtual Walk Information: Interested in walking at the location of your choice? That’s just fine! When teams/guests register there is an option to pick “Virtual Walker.” That will let us know you will be walking on your own at your home or favorite location. Make-A-Wish Minnesota will mail T-shirts (walkers must raise $50, including the $20 registration to receive a shirt) and any fundraising incentives earned.
