About Dusk2Dawn

Dusk2Dawn is the first event of its kind to hit the streets of Minnesota.  It is an ambitious and lengthy walk to raise money to support those living with HIV/AIDS in Minnesota and South Africa.  The walk has two route options - a 7-mile route and a 10-mile route.  Worried you can't make 7 or 10 miles?  Then we have 3 and 5 mile options for you as well!  We also have support vehicles along the route who can pick you up and transport you to the next rest stop should you not be able to complete the entire mileage.  Whether your goal is to do 7 miles, 10 miles, 5 miles or 3 miles, we want your participation.  Download a brochure. 

The Details:
The inaugural Dusk2Dawn Walk takes place the night of September 26, 2009.  Walkers begin at 6 pm.  The walk starts and stops at St. Joan of Arc Church and takes walkers along the parkways of Minneapolis and the lakes.  Rest Stops will be available along the route to keep you fueled up!
