20-mile Walkathon set for Saturday
proceeds will aid March of Dimes
BY JOY SEABORN
Has the warm spring air
made you yearn for a nice,
long, walk? Do you like to
help others? If you answer
to both of these questions is
“Y'es,” then perhaps you’d
like to participate in the Wake
County March of Dimes Walk
athon on March 24.
Beginning at Daniels Junior
High School on Oberlin Road,
the Walkathon will cover a
20-mile route in West Raleigh
along Glen Eden Drive, Blue

Road, and Ligon Street. Re
turning to Daniels, the route
will go past the NCSU campus
and down St. Mary’s Street.
At various stations along the
way, not only will participants’
cards be stamped to verify
their distances covered; but
such necessities as snacks,
ice water, and blister pads will
be offered. A “Poop Out
Truck” will also be avail
able to those who are will
ing in spirit but weak in flesh!
For those unfamiliar with
the procedure for a Walka-
thom, the first step in parti
cipation is to obtain a special
signup sheet on which you list
the names of sponsor who
pledge to pay so much for each
mile covered. As mentioned
above, a special detachable

form will be stamped to verify
the distance covered during
the course of the walk, which
will begin -- come rain, snow,
or shine -- at 8:15 a.m. Sat
urday March 24.
Besides the satisfaction of
knowing, as a participant, that
efforts will have helped the
6,800 Tarheel babies annually
born with birth defects, the
Walkathon will ofer tangible
awards for the oldest walker,
the youngest walker, the walk
