2-Mile Community Walk
Sign up now for the 5th Annual March for Meals Community Walk, a family-friendly 2-mile walk, scoot or roll for people of all ages and abilities. The walk through beautiful fields, wetlands, and woods is in support of the health and independence of older adults in West Michigan. Be sure to wear your food-themed costume to win prizes for best-dressed adult, kid, and dog! We can't wait to walk with you come rain, snow, or shine! Friendly dogs (on a leash) are welcome!
Location: The Grant Pavillion in Millennium Park, 1400 Maynard Ave SW Grand Rapids, MI 49534. There is plenty of free parking available on site.
Time: Packet pickup and activities under the pavilion begin at 9:00 am on race day. We will have a brief welcome and warm-up at 10:00 am with the run beginning at 10:15 am and the walk shortly after. An alternative packet pickup is also available the Friday before the race at Meals on Wheels Western Michigan in Grandville from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm.
Price: The price of the walk is the same as the run this year and is $35 (increasing to $40 on February 1st and $45 on event day). A timing bibb, race shirt, and race medal are included in the walk price. There is an option to add on a bandana upon check-out for an additional fee. Kids under 8 are free, so there is no need to register anyone 0-7 years old!
