What is the total distance that has to be walked?
There really is none. Officially, walkers have the option of walking 4, 6 or 8 miles. The reality is that individuals just turn around and go back when they feel theyve walked enough or it would be physically unwise to go any further. One year I had a friend who was recovering from a leg injury & turned back after five minutes. Another person had a later commitment and turned back after about 1 mile. So dont let any concern about your stamina hold you back. Its the thought that counts with this event. Regardless of how far you intend to walk, be sure to wear sneakers!! There is also a Virtual Walker option where you can join the team as a member, raise money for the team from sponsors without walking. This is a good option for those who are impaired.
