When is the Walk?

What if it rains?

Do I have to be on a team?
No. Anyone can take part as an individual or on a team.

What does a team captain do?
A team captain is the leader of the team. You recruit participants to join your team and on the day of the Walk you will be responsible for collecting money from your team and picking up their t-shirts and raffle tickets from the registration desk. Some team captains find creative ways to motivate their team members. They may also hold their own fundraising events.

St. Paul, Rochester and Duluth locations are approximately three miles. The St. Cloud location is just over a mile.

Three miles?! Can I bring my wheelchair?
Of course! Please bring wheelchairs, strollers, tricycles, or whatever you need to make this an enjoyable experience.

Are dogs allowed?
Dogs are permitted but must remain on a leash at all times (and remember to pick up after your pooch!).

I'm having trouble registering all of my team members online
By signing up online, Team Captains are able to easily add Team Members to their Team at any time. Once you start your team and log into your Campaign Manager, you can click on "Add Member" on the left side to easily add additional Team Members to your team. Others can also join your team without you having to add them yourself (you'll still have to approve them through your Campaign Manager). Please call us at 612-378-2742 or 800-669-6442 with any further questions regarding problems with online registration.

When do I turn in the money I raise?
You can turn it in the day of the Walk or mail it in in advance.

Where does the money go?
All the money raised will go to provide services to people affected by brain injury like free resource facilitation, brain injury basics, and mentoring. It also helps support our state wide brain injury prevention and education services.
