HOW DO I REGISTER FOR THE DC WALK FOR JUSTICE 5K?
Registering for the DC Walk for Justice 5K is simple! Please fill out the registration form at this link. This should take no more than 5 minutes. Please note that the registration form will not work on Internet Explorer.
WHY DO I NEED TO REGISTER?
We require participants to register for several reasons. (1) To collect important emergency contact information (2) To keep track of participant numbers for capacity and safety reasons, and (3) To understand where our participants learned about the Walk!
IS THERE A REGISTRATION FEE?
There is no registration fee, but walkers are encouraged to make a donation to the DC Bar Foundation to support civil legal aid in DC. Once you complete the registration form, you will be prompted with a link to our donate page where you can make your gift.
WHAT IS THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE?
October 10. We need a firm number of walkers so we’re sure to have enough food and drink for the finish line party!
WHAT ARE FUNDRAISING TEAMS?
Online fundraising teams give individuals the opportunity to raise funds for the DC Walk for Justice 5K in support of civil legal aid in DC. It is free to join a fundraising team - but, of course, you are encouraged to donate and invite your friends to do so as well. Joining a fundraising team also does not mean you are required to walk.
Sometimes, individuals or workplaces like to gather teams of friends, family, and/or colleagues to walk together at 5K charity events. If you would like to do that for the DC Walk for Justice 5K, it may be easiest to establish and keep track of your walking team roster by creating an online fundraising team and inviting your friends, family, and/or colleagues to join. You can then, if you desire, fundraise together as a team in support of our event using your online fundraising page.
If your team decides to walk together, we encourage you to come to the October 23 event wearing matching shirts! If you wish to design a custom shirt, you can access our event logo HERE.
DOES CREATING OR JOINING A FUNDRAISING TEAM AUTOMATICALLY REGISTER ME FOR THE WALK?
No. Because we need to collect important participant information, including emergency contact information, any individual interested in walking MUST fill out the walker registration form, available at this link.
However, you do not need to be a walker to fundraise or donate.
