Shoe Collection: Do you have used tennis shoes to donate? Consider bringing them to the event and donating them to MADD! MADD partners with NewBalance and GotSneakers to collect unwanted pairs of shoes. For each pair collected, MADD receives $1, and the shoe recycling company processes and distributes them around the world, specifically within impoverished nations, or turns unusable shoes into ground covering for play spaces.
Dogs Welcome: Dog registration is back for 2022 Walk Like MADD St. Louis! With a $15 registration fee, dogs will receive a MADD bandana!
Please remember to clean up after your dog to help keep the event clean for all participants. Dogs must be comfortable around crowds, noise, other dogs and children. Dogs must be leashed at all times.
Strollers Welcome: Strollers are welcome; we want all ages to enjoy the Walk Like MADD St. Louis!
Walk Day Fun: Be sure to check out all the fun on walk day...there are lots of activities for everyone of all ages. Featuring a Post-Race FOAM PARTY, donuts, a Kids Zone, music & more!
Weather: The weather report for Sunday morning looks AMAZING! Be sure to pack a jacket for a cool start to the race.
