Today I participated in the JDRF Walk To Cure Diabetes. This event, like the previous volunteer walk I participated in, was at the Tempe Beach Park. This time the walk was in the morning. Started at 9am, team photo at 8:30am and registration at 7:30am.
I arrived at around 7:15am so was able to register and do quick walk/warm up around looking at the different vendors and participants.Starbucks was giving a free tall coffee to whoever wanted, so that's where I headed first. They were also giving sample size
servings of Pumpkin Spice Latte. There was an official breakfast area that was giving out juice, apples, bananas, oranges, mini muffins, and breakfast bars. The music on the stage was great. Fox was the tv sponsor and they brought Stewie from Family Guy was there.
The walk route was 5k and very well planned. Some walkers and runners took shortcuts. Not me. I wanted to really be able to say that I walked the whole 5k so I did it with no shortcuts and it felt good.
At the finish line they were giving out gift bags with candles in them. Nice. I also got a few giveaways that some companies were giving. A couple pens, energy drinks/water, a dog toy from PetSmart, and a few other nick knacks.They then had brown bag lunch for everyone. Ate there and then came back home. It was a nice event.
