Regence Grand Floral Walk
Portland's newest event comes complete with throngs of adoring fans! Join us this June and Walk Where Roses Tread... along the Grand Floral Parade route!
Registration is limited to 2,000 participants -- the other 500,000 will be cheering YOU on!
BRING THE WHOLE GROUP!
This is the perfect event for you and your co-workers (showcase your company!), friends, neighbors, club pals and fitness friends to attend. There is no better way to get motivated than by walking in front of nearly 500,000 people cheering you on as you enjoy your workout! TV cameras will also be on during the morning's event. It's your time to shine amidst the floral festivities of Grand Floral Parade day.
CHARITY
A portion of each registration will go to benefit The Dougy Center.
ROUTE
The four-mile walk route is also the route of the 2008 Grand Floral Parade, leaving from the Memorial Coliseum. The Battle Ground High School Marching Band will lead you past nearly half a million spectators who will cheer you on as you enjoy your own 'fitness parade.' You can opt to do a two-mile portion of the course and exit and return to the formation area in northwest Portland. Please bring your own water bottle and other equipment to take you through a two or four-mile walking event. There will be no water stations available on course.
PARADE VIEWING
Once you have completed the course, you will have a chance to view the 2008 Grand Floral Parade at a special Walk viewing section near SW 12th and Taylor streets. Space will be available on a first come, first served basis ONLY for walkers identified with a participant bib number.
FLORAL FUN AND PRIZES
Win great prizes to be awarded at random on walk morning. Be sure to incorporate flowers into your clothing to have a chance at special honors before the walk begins.
SOUVENIRS
Every participant will receive a souvenir walk pin, a t-shirt and other special items on walk morning.
