What is a Lead Walker and how do I become one?
A Lead Walker is a participant who commits to raising $1000 for AIDSWalk Richmond and then steadily and passionately works toward that goal. Lead Walkers will receive additional fundraising support and communications in the months leading up to AIDSWalk as well as exclusive event invitations and additional incentives and recognition upon attaining their goal. Lead Walkers will also be leading the route on Walk day! It's easy to join the program once you've registered! Just e-mail scott @ AIDSWalkRichmond.com let him know of your interest in becoming a Lead Walker!
I'm going to be out of town on October 17th. How can I still help out?
Register as a Sleep Walker! A Sleep Walker is someone who either won't be available to participate or who would just prefer to sleep in on October 17th. Sleep Walkers will receive their commemorative event t-shirt by mail and will still receive the same level of support for their fundraising efforts as any other registered participant should they choose to raise money for AIDSWalk Richmond.
Are strollers permitted on the route?
Yes! We encourage you to attend with all members of your family no matter how young! Strollers are allowed on the walk route but are not permitted in the timed run.
Can I walk with my dog?
Yes! AIDSWalk Richmond is pooch-friendly and we'll even have water bowls along the route. We just ask that you keep your dog on a leash for the duration of the event and clean up any mess they may leave. Dogs are not permitted in the timed run.
