Volunteer

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

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.

View a map of the route here.

Private Cheering Stations

You can organize a group (up to 20) to host your very own private cheering station. Follow this link for more information. Then, if you’re interested in hosting a private cheering station, contact sandiegocoaches@the3day.org with the subject line: “Private Cheering Station Inquiry” no later than November 1.

Mobile Cheering Squads

Mobile cheering squads are small groups (less than four people) who support the 3-Day walkers along the route. If you are interested in forming a cheering squad, contact sandiegocoaches@the3day.org with the subject line: “Mobile Cheering Squad Inquiry” no later than November 1.

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.
