Packing & Preparing
Packing

Your gear bag should weigh no more than 35 pounds. Easily toted bags with wheels are the best choice. For 20-mile walkers: You will be carrying all of your belongings with you while walking. We recommend a waist pack or something that evenly distributes the weight, so as not to disrupt your walking stride.

Please avoid bringing any valuables with you. The 3-Day assumes no liability for the replacement of lost items. So mark your bag clearly with your name and Participant ID number ( Please log in to see your participant ID number).

You must bring your own water bottle. We will provide water and sports drink in large dispensers on the route and in small mixing packs at the hotel, not in individual bottles.

Hotel Reservations
Hotel Camp

3-Day Walkers and Crew: If it says “Roommate Status: Assigned” in the Online Check-In section of your Participant Center, then your Friday and Saturday night room is confirmed. You will not be getting a confirmation email from the hotel for Friday or Saturday night, because the 3-Day is managing those reservations.

If you reserved a hotel room for Thursday and/or Sunday night, you may get a confirmation email directly from the hotel for those nights.

When you check in to the hotel, you will need to provide a credit or debit card for incidentals. A charge for $40/day will be placed on your card (if it is a debit card, the $40/day will be removed from your account). If you do not charge incidentals to your room, the $40/day charge will be refunded 7-10 days after you check out.

Day One: Friday
3DAY_DALLAS_2022-101_Day1.jpg

Here’s the play-by-play of how the day will go.

  • If you are not staying at the Hyatt Regency on Thursday night, plan to arrive there by 6:00 a.m. on Friday morning to drop your gear off. You will check into your hotel after you finish walking the route on Friday (after 4:00 p.m.).
  • Crew members: Check with your captain for your arrival time and location. Crew members will be reporting to either the vehicle lot or the hotel, based on Friday morning responsibilities. We will have gear trucks available at the Vehicle lot and Opening Ceremony to collect crew member luggage.
  • Walkers: Wear a 3-Day t-shirt if you have one. Let’s show the world we stand united against breast cancer as we head out into our community.
  • Dress in layers you can easily stash in your waist pack as the day warms up.
  • There will be snacks at pit stop 1 but not a full meal, so eat breakfast before you arrive.
  • We do not accept donations on the event, so mail any donations you have collected before you leave for the event or use the mobile deposit feature of the Komen 3-Day app.
  • The opening pre-show will start at 6:45 a.m. and the Opening Ceremony will begin promptly at 7:00 a.m.
  • We will not have computers or printers on site for participant use. So, if you forget your credential or haven’t completed online check-in, go to the late check-in help desk which will be open from 6:00 a.m. - 7:00 a.m. You will receive a temporary credential until you get to camp on Friday afternoon/evening.
  • Take a moment to write the names of the loved ones you have lost to breast cancer on the white promise flag.
  • If you are walking by yourself and want to meet up with other solo walkers, meet near the Solo Walker flag after the Opening Ceremony.
  • Once you have completed Day 1, you can retrieve your luggage and check in to the hotel.

20-Mile Walkers
20-Mile Walker

On Saturday night at the 3-Day, we hold a special ceremony to honor and celebrate the people for whom we walk. We invite you to attend this moving, inspiring ceremony—you won’t want to miss it. It’s a meaningful way to start your 3-Day journey and will give you a chance to be with the rest of the 3-Day community.

The Honor Ceremony will start at approximately 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. If you’d like to attend this ceremony, please come to the Dallas Hyatt Regency between 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and check in at the 20-mile walker table in the ballroom. Dinner is served between 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Then plan to arrive at the hotel on Sunday morning. If you didn’t check in on Saturday, please check in at the 20-mile walker table in the ballroom between 6:45 a.m. – 7:45 a.m. Breakfast is available from 5:30 a.m. – 7:45 a.m. and the route opens at 7:00 a.m. All walkers must be on the route by 8:00 a.m.

Parking: We recommend booking convenient and affordable parking in advance through SpotHero, the nation’s leading parking reservations app. To reserve your parking spot for the Dallas/Fort Worth Susan G. Komen 3-Day, visit the Dallas Hyatt Regency SpotHero Parking Page and book a spot with rates up to 50% off drive-up. SpotHero will donate 5% of parking fees back to Susan G. Komen.

The Route
3DAY_DALLAS_2022-612_route.jpg

The day’s mileage will vary, from 15.6 to 19.9 miles. You should aim for a pace of about 3 mph, spending approximately 10-15 minutes at each pit stop and 30 minutes at the lunch stop.

Every 3-4 miles along the route, you will have an opportunity to stop, stretch, go to the bathroom and refill your water bottle. It’s important that you drink as much as you need along the way, to avoid dehydration. Most of these stops are a full pit stop, which includes snacks and where the Medical Crew will be available to help you with any medical problems you may encounter during the day. A grab & go is a smaller pit stop, which has toilets and drinks only. The midday pit stop will be your lunch stop. You can rest, relax, eat lunch and visit the Medical Crew, if necessary.

All pit stops have designated opening and closing hours, timed to keep you moving along the route at a safe pace and to ensure that you complete your walking while it is still light out. If you reach a pit stop before it opens, you will be asked to stop and wait. If you reach a pit stop after it closes, you will be transported to the lunch stop (or camp, if you have already passed the lunch stop). A “caboose” (staff member) on a bicycle will be following the last walker on the route. If you are falling behind schedule, you will be given the option to take a sweep or shuttle van to the next pit stop if you cannot increase your pace. This is to keep everyone moving along the route at a pace that ensures traffic support and sweep vans are available and ready to assist if needed.

The route is well marked with pink arrows and instructional signage so all you need to do is follow the signs and the walkers in front of you!

The route will close at 5:30 p.m., conditions permitting. Exact mileage per day varies according to a number of factors such as pit stops, camp, as well as Opening and Closing site locations. The amount of daylight hours also impacts the total event mileage as it dictates the amount of time the route can be kept open safely.

Here’s a general description of what you will experience along the way below. Download a map here.

Friday: Approximately 19.9 miles
The Dallas/Fort Worth 3-Day will begin with an emotional Opening Ceremony at the Hyatt Regency. The first day will showcase the suburban areas of Dallas, winding north through Turtle Creek and Highland Park. Please be mindful of our neighbors when walking through residential areas. Walkers will be able to see the museum district as well before we head back to the Hyatt Regency, our home away from home for the weekend.

Saturday: Approximately 18.2 miles
On Saturday morning, we'll rise and shine, and take a short bus ride to the start of the route. Today's walk will bring you to the neighboring city of Fort Worth and showcase multiple neighborhoods including Arlington Heights, the Cultural District, Sundance Square, and Farimont-Southside Historic District. Walkers will enjoy a stroll through the streets of the TCU campus before heading back to the east side of Fort Worth. The route will finish through the Elizabeth Boulevard Historic Neighborhood before taking a bus ride back to the Hyatt Regency for another evening of community, camaraderie and fun.

Sunday: Approximately 15.6 miles
Day 3 will have walkers head through downtown Dallas eastbound toward White Rock Lake and back. The morning route will include a trail walk through a more suburban area before arriving at the lakefront and looping back through more urban streets, back through City Center to enjoy a memorable Closing Ceremony.

View a map of the route.

Please be courteous and follow instructions of crew and staff at all times. They are here to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable experience. Abusive behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

Sweep Vans
Sweep

On some 3-Day events, due to a shortage of available rentals, we will be using minivans as our sweep vans. Sweep vans are available to assist you in two ways:

  1. If you get injured or tired or exhausted or just need a break from walking, Sweep vans along the route can pick you up and take you to the next pit stop, where you can get medical attention, if you need it. Toward the end of the day, particularly if you have fallen behind, we encourage you to hop in a van so that you can get to the next stop before it closes! If you are on the route and need to signal a sweep van, step to the side and make an X with your arms over your head.
  2. There will also be sweep vans staged at each pit stop which can take you directly to the next stop. Based on the time of day, some of these vans may be going directly to lunch or to camp. Just ask them before you hop in! As the day comes to a close, we want to make sure that all the walkers make it back to camp before dark.

Meals and Snacks
3DAY_SAN_DIEGO_2019-981mealssnacks.jpg

At each pit stop there will be an assortment of snacks including clementines, bananas, potato chips, carrots, peanuts, pretzels and more (as supplies last). To drink, there will be water and sports drink provided. You must bring your own water bottle to fill. About halfway through each day’s mileage, you will have a nutritious lunch.

You must show your 3-Day credential to receive all meals and services. If you prefer a vegetarian meal, please update your profile on The3Day.org, and then let us know when you select your meal on the event. (If you have other special dietary needs, call your coach in advance at 800-996-3DAY or email dfwcoaches@the3day.org so we can discuss your options.)

Safety
3DAY_CHICAGO_2022-422 copy_safety.jpg

Our first priority is always a safe event. To keep it safe, we need your cooperation. You must take responsibility for your own safety. In the spirit of kindness, please keep an eye out for the safety of others as well. Walking in a group is different than walking alone—you must be particularly aware of your movement and behavior to ensure that you are not endangering yourself or others.

Please observe the following safety policies on the event.

  • Use caution when walking near vehicles. While we clear an appropriate walking path for you, the road is not closed to traffic during the 3-Day.
  • Cooperate with 3-Day officials at all times, including staff members, volunteers and crew members.
  • Local law enforcement will also have a presence on the event—so please obey their instructions and signals. We’ve been given very special permission to be at these sites and along these roads. Treat local officials with extra respect so that we’ll be welcomed back in the future!
  • Walkers are not permitted to wear headphones or use mobile phones or texting devices while walking. It is extremely unsafe. If you need to use your phone, stop and step to the side first. And please don’t use your phone’s speaker to play music or make calls while walking.
  • Participants in the 3-Day are not to engage in any activity that is in violation of any criminal or statutory law, including traffic laws.
  • Local jurisdictions will be enforcing open-liquor laws in neighborhoods along the route. The safety of our participants is our number one priority and the consumption of alcohol during the 3-Day is not recommended and could damage the 3-Day’s relationship with local law enforcement officials.
  • All walkers must stay on the official 3-Day route.
  • Unsafe behavior is cause for immediate expulsion from the 3-Day. If you are expelled, you will be responsible for your own transportation home.
  • No children under 16 (including babies in strollers or baby carriers) are allowed on the event route.
  • No pets are allowed on the event route or at any of the 3-Day sites (pit stops, hotel, ceremony sites) unless they are registered service animals and the 3-Day staff has been notified in advance of their presence.
  • The 3-Day utilizes city and school properties for our ceremony sites, pit stops and other official locations. As such, all participants, vendors, and staff must abide by the regulations set at these institutions including smoking, alcohol and firearm free zones.

Weather

Whatever the weather, the 3-Day generally continues. So please be prepared for walking in inclement weather. If the weather gets too severe, we always have a back-up plan for evacuating and relocating to make sure that everyone is housed safely.

We will make every effort to hold the 3-Day events at the times, dates and locations specified. However, Susan G. Komen® holds the right to cancel or change the date or location of any 3-Day event, in its sole discretion, due to circumstances that may compromise the health or safety of the participants, including without limitation, unusually severe or extreme weather, fire, natural disaster, pandemic or riot.

If a 3-Day event is cancelled or changed, we will take active steps to inform registered participants of such cancellation or change as soon as possible by email and/or text message, posting announcements online in the Participant Center at The3Day.org and on our social media channels. All registration fees and donations submitted to the 3-Day are non-transferable and non-refundable, even if the event is cancelled or changed. That means that once a donation is posted to a participant’s account it cannot be moved to another participant’s account for any reason, regardless of whether or not you’re able to participate in the event. Your donations will go directly to the cause, and we hope your donors will appreciate supporting Komen regardless of the cancellation or modification of the event.

Medical Emergencies

As with any emergency, call 911 first, if possible. Then, immediately report any medical emergencies to 3-Day staff (the 3-Day event hotline phone number will be clearly marked on your credential). We have a full crew of volunteer medical professionals along the route and at camp to assist you as well as access to local emergency facilities for more serious injuries.

Medical Insurance
All registered walkers and crew members must have personal health insurance during the time the event takes place in order to participate. Although the 3-Day provides certain emergency medical services, personal health insurance may be necessary to cover costs of other medical care, including care received away from the event. For example: if emergency room care or ambulance transport is needed, insurance coverage may be necessary. Check with your insurance company for the terms of your individual policy. If you currently do not have health insurance, either purchase a temporary policy that covers you for the duration of the 3-Day or contact a coach for an insurance waiver.

Alcohol Restrictions
No Alcohol

The 3-Day and all of the cities we travel through work together to help create a safe and enjoyable experience for 3-Day participants and supporters. As the 3-Day route is on public property, it is subject to local laws. Local jurisdictions will be enforcing open-liquor laws in neighborhoods along the route. The safety of our participants is our number one priority.

Cheering Stations
3DAY_CHICAGO_2022-833_cheeringstations.jpg

3DAY22_SD_FRI-876_kindness.jpg

Kindness Rocks 
One of the great things about the 3-Day is the spirit of kindness that we create for three days while on the event. It’s like living in a pink bubble — the way we wish the world would be. It’s a world where every walker, from the first to the last, gets a cheer as they enter camp. Where a stranger may help you carry your bag. Where a long line becomes another opportunity to make a great new friend. One of the most popular phrases around the 3-Day is “No whining!” So carry on that legacy of kindness. Be kind, smile, and lend a hand when you see someone who needs it.

Day Three: Sunday
3DAY_CHICAGO_2022-1498_sunday.jpg
