How about the option of where you walk!
INSIDE......or.......OUT
Join thousands of walkers and volunteers at one of five walk locations for a fun and friendly community oriented event. Choose to stroll a winding route through our Maine communities or walk with family and friends inside the Walk facility. We all know March in Maine can be unpredictable; one week there's snow on the ground, the next green grass and tulips! You just never know what to expect. This is why we offer two options so all participants of various abilities have the opportunity to participate. Facilities are wheelchair and handicapped accessible.
