Walk-a-palooza

HOW DOES WALK-A-PALOOZA WORK?

Walk to raise money and awareness of SitStayRead from October 13-27. You can walk solo, with a dog, without a team, or with one. The options are endless. Each participant and team will have their own page where they can set goals, share photos, invite friends, and post updates to the timeline.  


HOW DO I EARN POINTS?

​The more you walk, post, or fundraise, the more points you earn! There are 3 daily walk challenges– 15 mins, 30 mins, or 45 mins. You pick the challenge that works best for you. But on top of that, we'll have bonus challenges, encouraging you to walk to some of our favorite spots around the city. Click the Walks & Challenges up top to learn more.
