Walk It Off: Charity Walks

• Get plenty of sleep the night before your big event.
• Bring along an ID, sunscreen, sunglasses, some cash, and a credit card.
• Don't wear new sneakers. Stick with what's tried and true or risk a blister.
• Stay hydrated. All organized walks have plenty of facilities for bathroom breaks.
• Don't eat or drink anything new. This isn't the day to try sport gel for the first time.
