8th John’s Baby Steps 5K Race & Memory Walk tomorrow

Hello everyone!

John’s Baby Steps is tomorrow! I wanted to touch base on a few details.

First, if you haven’t picked up your package they are ready at the Adel Public Library. You may pick them up there today (Friday) from 10:00AM to 5:00PM. If you don’t get there, it’s ok. You can also pick-up your packet Saturday at Kinnick-Feller Park from 7:00AM to 8:00AM.

Your BIB# is in your packet. Those of you who are doing the 5K race can pick up your Chips for timing Saturday morning between 7:00AM & 8:00AM. Safety pins will also be available.
The Angel presentation will start promptly at 8:15AM.

If you have a friend or loved one who wants to join you but hasn’t registered, that’s ok! They can come and register the morning of from 7:00AM to 8:00AM with you.

We will be having the event rain or shine! In case of lightening, we would have a slight delay. Though, even though we have some showers each year, our Angels always seem to give us nice weather during the event!

Note: If you registered after September 15th , there was not a guarantee to receive a shirt. However, we tried to get shirts to as many participants as possible. Some participants may have a different size then requested, either one size larger or equivalent. There are a couple shirts left. When you pick up your packet, if there is not a shirt, please feel free to take one that will work for you.

Also, the day of we will have previous years’ shirts that you are welcome to have.

Please let me know if you have questions and or concerns.

We can’t wait to see you Saturday!

Thanks,
John’s Baby Steps Event Committee
