FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON A TEAM?
Six people can be on each Santa Pull team. Plungers and Walkers can participate solo, or form a team of any size. If you choose to participate in Santa’s Triathlon but you don’t have a Cable Car Pull team, we’ll place you with other participants.
WHEN SHOULD I REGISTER?
The sooner the better. Participants that begin their team and fundraising efforts early out perform their peers and enjoy their participation the most! Make-A-Wish staff and volunteers are happy to help you develop a fundraising success plan!
WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?
Registration opens at 8:00 am and you should plan to arrive for the event(s) you’re participating in at least 45 minutes prior to when they start.
CAN I BRING MY DOG TO THE WALK?
Yes. Please bring supplies to clean up after your pet.
CAN I HAVE A BIKE, SKATEBOARD, OR ROLLERBLADES IN THE WALK?
Bikes, skateboards and rollerblades are not permitted on the course. Wheelchairs, strollers and wagons are permitted.
IS THERE A RACE COMPONENT?
The event includes a fun run, but please note this is not a timed race. The run begins at the same time as the Walk.
