Day of the Event:

Registration will open at 1 p.m. Please arrive at the Main Street Square by 2:30 to pick up your registration packet, including a lanyard that will give you access to special downtown deals throughout the day. 

Your safety is a priority. We worked with the Rapid City Police Department to make sure you can safely cross the streets along the Walk for Warmth route.  Please cross at designated crosswalks and follow the direction of our volunteers.

Please prepare for cold weather:

  • Dress in warm clothing, including warm socks, a hat and gloves.
  • Walking around in the fresh air can burn up a lot of calories.
    The Salvation Army will provide snacks and beverages on the day of the event, and the Red Cross will have aid stations set up along the route.
    Remember that even in the cold, you can easily become dehydrated.

 

Thank you to our community partners!
