The Course
Check In
All walkers must check in at the Community Walk registration area inside at the South West Gallery of the Concourse level of the Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany. Check-in begins at 7:00 a.m. on walk day.
Walkers who have pre-registered and collected donations for a Non Profit Group must check-in with that group's coordinator at the tables set up on the Plaza to receive a bib number. Walkers who are not pre-registered but have raised donations may register the day of the walk with the non profit organization of their choice.
Fitness walkers are required to check-in at the Walk Administration tent to receive their bib number.
Non-profit Donation Collection
Walkers are encouraged to walk for one of the registered non-profit organizations. Walkers may print out a sponsor sheet from this web site but should contact their chosen non-profit organization for additional sponsor information. All donations collected should be payable directly to the Non-Profit Organization. Last year, the groups participating in the Freihofer's Community Walk raised approximately $30,000. We appreciate your support in this effort.
