A walkathon (walk-a-thon), or walking marathon is a type of community or school fundraiser where participants raise money by collecting donations or pledges for walking a predetermined distance or course.
For our school we will be walking a marked course around the school grounds and in part of the neighborhood. Click here for a look at the route.
Participants obtain sponsors to pledge a per lap or fixed amount. On the date of the walkathon, participants walk at their own pace and complete as many laps as possible around the marked course for the specified time period. Number of laps are confirmed for each participant then the money is collected after the event.
