We need volunteers! There are many opportunities available, including helping out at the Finish Line Festival on Sunday and cheering along the route. It’s a meaningful and fun way to be involved in the 3-Day! Click here to sign up to volunteer.
Public cheering stations are a great way to show your support along the route. Create banners, hold up signs, bring some music and spread the love—anything to make walkers smile, stay energized and keep walking.

On some portions of the route you may find areas that are deemed “quiet zones” which will be indicated by signage. Please respect our neighborhoods and communities during this time.
Cheering Station Alcohol Policy
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. While local officials understand and respect the cause for our celebration, we ask that you and your supporters help keep the 3-Day a family-friendly event and alcohol-free.
Subscribe to the 3-Day blog. We post lots of stories and photos before, during and after the 3-Day event.
Then follow us on social media.
