Dear Friend,

Walk MS in Rockville, Md., is this weekend! THANK YOU for your support.

NEW THIS YEAR:

  • We would like to limit the amount of cash collected on-site. Please convert all of your cash donations to a check or money order or make an online donation before attending Walk MS.
  • We have a 1-mile route in addition to our traditional 5K (3-mile) route. See below for links to the route maps!

We are also very grateful to have the support of our presenting sponsor, Booz Allen Hamilton, along with our additional local sponsors! 

Please read the following IMPORTANT information so that you are prepared for Walk MS. 

  • We walk rain or shine! Monitor the weather forecast and plan accordingly.
  • EVERY walker must check in the morning of Walk MS and get a wristband. Please remember to bring any donations with you. Please convert cash donations to a check or money order or make an online donation before attending Walk MS.
  • EVERY walker must complete the check-in form. Click here for a printable form. To expedite the check-in process, please complete and sign the waiver and bring it with you to the check-in table at the event.
  • Final check-in lists will be pulled on Friday. If you receive any donations after 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, bring a copy of the confirmation email with you. Remember, if you have an individual fundraising total of $125 or more by the day of the walk, you will receive a voucher at check-in to pick up your Walk MS t-shirt on-site at the t-shirt area! 
  • Check in early! Check-in opens at 7 a.m. and closes at 8:45 a.m. sharp.
    Arriving early will allow us to get you checked in quickly and easily, and help prevent long lines. The check-in area will be shut down at 8:45 a.m. to allow Walk MS to start on time.
