What is a Walk for Hope Team
Walk for Hope is a team-based event, but individual walkers are welcome. Teams register with a kilometre goal in mind and take turns walking, or walk together, along the path to reach their goal. You can walk in honour of a family member or for the fun of meeting a challenge alone or with friends! Teams can be made up of anyone you wish: colleagues, friends, family members, church groups, etc.
What to Expect
The event will include fun for all ages with a Starting Line, Rise & Dine Community Breakfast, Survivor Honour Lap, Bouncy Castles, Food Trucks, Face Painting, Live Entertainment, Honour Balloons and more! Breakfast and a light lunch will be provided for all registered participants who will have an ID badge; any children who have a paid registration will be provided lunch as well.
Children and Registration
There is no registration fee required for children (under 18), and they may join you as you walk. They can be part of your team and may, or may not, collect their own sponsorships. Light lunch will be provided for children who have a paid registration.
Setting Your Team Goal
How far will your team walk? Your team can pick locations that are meaningful to them as their Walk for Hope goal! For example, the distance from Vita to Steinbach, or Richer to Cancer Care Manitoba in Winnipeg.
Meeting Your Team Goal: 3 laps on the pond track is equal to 1 KM. Your total lap goal is 3x your KM goal. You can divide these between your team members to figure out how many laps each member needs to complete in the 5.5 hour time frame. For example, Steinbach to Winnipeg is 65km or 195 laps (65 x 3). If you have 5 team members, each member does 39 laps in the day (or just 7 laps/hour)
*KM Goal x 3 = Total Laps *Total Laps / Team Members = Laps per Team Member
Laps Per Team Member / 5.5 = Laps per Hour per Team Member
Collecting Sponsorships
Set a team fundraising goal (no minimum required) – aim high and make an impact! All funds go directly to cancer patients/families to cover their transportation costs, and incidentals. All donations of $20 or more are tax deductible.
Registration Packages and forms can also be picked up in person:
