Day Zero Site
Here you will get checked in, view the safety and orientation video, complete you medical
and pledge requirements, get assigned to tents and tentmates, and be issued your walker
badge and wristband. The process requires about two hours and is run throughout the
day before the first day of the walk. Is is wise to dedicate the entire day to this
process to start getting in the spirit of the event.
Day Zero Checklist - What to Bring
- Photo ID
- Your walker number
- Any remaining pledges or blank pledge
forms if you are short
- A copy of your medical form and medical information in case needed
- Cash for lunch and snacks and drinks, credit or cash for the Walker Store
- A good and kind attitude
- Your luggage if you are going directly from Day Zero to a host hotel
- Wear sunscreen and a hat and bring water to drink while waiting.

Travel to the Day Zero
You may arrive at Day Zero using your own transportation method (parking situations will
be different at each site). Or you can select one of the shuttles provided, at cost,
from various locations, and shuttles from the Day Zero site to host hotels if you need to
stay nearby. You do not need to bring you luggage with you to Day Zero
unless you are
going from Day Zero to a host hotel. I chose a shuttle bus from Union Station after
receiving the travel packet and information from the chosen travel agency for the event.
They sent me a wristband to use for the shuttle. Arriving at the station, I
met others waiting as well - some of them walked last year and this year were going to
work on the Crew, others were walkers like me. Everyone was in great spirits and I
learned a lot more about the event from them. Let your 3-Day experience start in the
wait for the shuttle!
