Challenge Walk MS is a fully supported event with your safety as our number one priority! Support and Gear (SAG) vehicles patrol the route to show support and ensure your safety. SAGs give rides – be it the finish line or a rest stop – as needed and requested.

Rest stops are located every 1.5-3 miles along the route to help you recharge and refuel. Relax, hydrate, grab a bite to eat and connect with other participants. There will also be medical support at most rest stops.

All Walkers and Crew receive 8 meals throughout the weekend – 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 2 dinners. Breakfast and dinner will be served at Parkwood Lodge and lunches will be along the route each day. A survey will be sent in early summer to determine any dietary needs/restrictions.
