Preregistration
You may preregister your team Monday – Friday, October 9 – 13, 2017 at Crisis Control Ministry, 200 E. Tenth St. When you turn into the Crisis Control parking lot, turn left and go around to the back of the building and park in the upper level parking lot. Walk over the metal walkway to the second floor and ring the bell and someone will help you. Crisis Control will be open until 7 p.m. on Tuesday. On other days, please come between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you need to come a little later, please call 336-724-7875 and someone will assist you.
T-shirts
You can pick up your team’s t-shirt awards at preregistration, which will save you time on walk day. One t-shirt will be given to each person 12 and under who collects $50 in donations. If you are over 12 and have $100 in donations, you will receive a free t-shirt. If you do not pre-register, t-shirts will be available as supplies last at the Walk. Any remaining t-shirts can be purchased after the Walk for $10 each.
Parking
Thanks to BB&T, free parking will be available in their deck at One Triad Park. You will be able to enter the deck from either Second Street or Liberty Street. There is some on street parking downtown near Corpening Plaza. Look for the CROP signs and parking guards on each street.
Check-in
If your team is preregistered, please gather around the plaza and enjoy the music and face painting. If your team is NOT preregistered, ONLY the Team Captain needs to go to Registration tent to check in your team and receive tickets for your earned t-shirts awards. The team members should gather in the plaza area and enjoy the music and program until the Walk begins at 2:30 p.m.
Water
There will be bottled water available at the Walk, but we encourage you to be environmentally friendly and bring your own water bottle. There will be a water stop just over the covered bridge entering Old Salem. Please remember to recycle!
Port-a-jons
Two port-a-jons will be located outside Corpening Plaza on the Liberty Street side of the plaza. One will be handicap accessible.
Safety
Your safety is very important to us! The Winston-Salem Police Department will have officers on site and CROP Walk volunteers will be stationed along the Walk route. Forsyth County EMS will be on site in case of emergency. If you need assistance, please see a CROP Walk Route Guide. They will be wearing orange vests. If someone has been injured and a Route Guide is not available, please call 911 and tell them you are with the CROP Hunger Walk.
After the Walk
Before your team heads home, be sure and get a snow-cone and fruit snack and enjoy the music by Verne Hill of WBFJ after the Walk. There will also be face painting for the young and the young at heart. Any remaining t-shirts can be purchased after the Walk for $10 each.
