Arriving at the Park

Parking & Shuttle Service: Parking at/near Como Park is limited and can fill up quickly. We will be running continuous shuttles from Bandana Square again this year. Shuttle service starts at 9:00 AM and will run until 2:30 PM. Bandana Square is located at 1021 Bandana Blvd. East in St. Paul.
Registered Walker T-Shirt Pick Up: For walkers who registered on or before Sept. 15, your $7 registration fee included a free t-shirt. T-shirt pick-up for Registered Walkers will be located in the pavilion. It will be marked by large red balloons and balloon pillars. If you already have your shirt (either you choose shipping or your team captain picked it up for you), you do not need to check in. Please plan to pick up your shirt by NOON - Registered Walker T-Shirt Pick Up will close at NOON.
Onsite Registration: Onsite registration is available for $7 per person or a suggested $25.00 donation for a family. The onsite registration fee does not include a free T-shirt but does help cover the cost of renting Como Park and putting on this event. Onsite Registration is located right by the T-shirt pick up tables. Onsite registration closes at NOON.
Team Donation Drop-Off: If you have cash or checks that you have collected and are planning to bring to the walk, there will be attendants at the T-shirt Pick Up and Onsite Registration tables ready to assist.
Information, First-Aid, and Lost & Found: There will be an information kiosk located by the T-shirt check in or ask anyone with a red t-shirt. It will be staffed all day. Staff will have first aid supplies and a walkie-talkie to assist with lost items and lost children/family members.
Main Location: Como Regional Park - 1199 Midway Parkway, St. Paul, MN 55108.

Walk Route: The full walk route is about 2.2 miles and starts at the far end of the Como Regional Park Field and goes around Lake Como. There will be a shorter route (about 1 mile) that is just around the field. Route will be clearly marked.
