View our complete pre-Walk information packet.

The JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes has become JDRF One Walk.  We’ve changed the name of our flagship fundraising event to communicate our focus on a single goal: creating a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D).  The new name and bold look at this year’s JDRF One Walk reflect the powerful impact you are making on our efforts to turn Type One into Type None.  The funds and support raised by JDRF One Walk—our flagship fundraising event and the largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) event in the world—help us turn Type One into Type None.  Your dedication inspires us and we look forward to Walk Day where we can celebrate your commitment and the strength of the T1D community.

BEFORE THE WALK
1. We HIGHLY encourage all Walkers to pre-register online at walk.jdrf.org/capecod2016.  Not only does this make Check-In go more smoothly, it allows you to get to the fun and not wait in line.
2. You can mail in gifts to the JDRF office before the Walk or drop by the office at 60 Walnut Street, Wellesley Hills, MA 02481 (we’d love to see you and thank you in person!).  Turning in funds earlier is another great way to ensure a speedy check-in process on Walk Day!
3. Walk Day Bag Policy:  The police will be strongly enforcing a policy where no bags can be left at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds while you are on the Walk route.  Please be prepared by only bringing bags you can walk with (small backpacks, cross-body purses, fanny packs, etc.).

WHEN YOU ARRIVE
-If you have not registered yet, or have pre-registered online and have Walk gifts to turn in, please proceed to the Greeter Tables first to complete your Collection Envelope, which you will then turn in at Check-In.
-General Check-In:  If you have pre-registered online and have gifts to turn in, donations should be counted and sealed in a completed Walker Collection Envelope.  An accurate total of money contained in the envelope must be clearly written on the outside of the envelope. Every walker turning in funds should turn in their own separate envelope.  It is extremely important that Walker Collection Envelopes are filled out completely and accurately.  Collection Envelopes will be available at the Greeter Tables near Check-In.
-NEW THIS YEAR—V1P Fundraisers:  If you have personally raised more than $1,000, you are a V1P!   Be sure to pick up your V1P lanyard at Check-In for your all-access pass to our V1P area!
-Get a T-Shirt Ticket at Check-In:  Did you personally raise $100 or more for JDRF?  Thank you for your support!  Be sure to get a white t-shirt ticket at Check-In and pick up your t-shirt at the T-Shirt area.
-NEW THIS YEAR—T-Shirts for our T1D Walkers:  JDRF is motivated by the millions of children and adults challenged by T1D every single day.  We celebrate your strength and the sense of hope and empowerment that Walk Day brings.  Let our volunteers know if you would like a special blue t-shirt identifying you as living with T1D and they will provide you with a blue ticket during Check-In.  You can then pick up your T1D t-shirt at the T-Shirt Tent.

TEAM T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST
If you have a t-shirt to enter in the Most Creative Team T-Shirt Contest, please turn it in at the Greeter Tables when you arrive.

FOOD AND REFRESHMENTS
While we provide as many refreshments as possible, thanks to our in-kind partners, please understand that we have a limited quantity of food and beverage available and we are not able to meet all dietary needs.  We ask that you please come prepared in order to enjoy the activities of the day.

WALK ROUTE
IMPORTANT: For your safety and convenience, the Walk route will lead you eight times around the perimeter of the fairgrounds for a full 5K.  Please see the enclosed route map for details and remember to follow the JDRF signs as you make your way along the route.  The route can accommodate strollers.
