WELCOME TO THE KIDNEY WALK, FUN RUN AND BIKE-A-THON!

We are excited to have you for the 2013 Watertown, SD Walk. We have lots of exciting information to share with you during the months leading up to the walk and look forward to meeting you at Bramble Park Zoo Picnic Shelter on May 18, 2013.

IMPORTANT DAY OF DETAILS.

The Kidney Walk is a non-competitive 5K where participants are invited to walk as little or as much as they feel comfortable.  Families, well-behaved pets and strollers are all welcome.  Your morning will include a light breakfast and lunch, music, live entertainment, kids activities, a jelly bean bar, health and wellness tent and much more.

AFTER PARTY!

You’ve walked, run or biked to raise dollars and awareness for the fight against kidney disease and the need to increase organ donation—here’s your chance to CELEBRATE! Join others from the Kidney Community at local watering hole, The Prop, for drink specials, food from Pizza Ranch and camaraderie.  Bring your friends, family members and Kidney Walk team members.  You can’t beat the view from The Prop and a portion of all beverages and food purchased from The Prop's menu will be donated back to the National Kidney Foundation.  More information HERE
