WALK ROUTE

The walk is approximately 2 miles and is stroller and wheelchair accessible. The walk route takes our teams through Riverview Park and the Sloan Park stadium. 

Activities in Sloan Park:

  • View our Faces of Hope display on the Jumbotron, including the faces of T1D champions from our teams raising at least $1500.
  • Be sure to check out the baseball signs in the outfield from our teams raising at least $3500.
  • Take your team photo at the Wrigley Field replica marquee. Kids are invited onto the field to run the bases like their favorite Cubs player. 
  • Adult Meet Up: If you’re an adult living with T1D, join us in the suite inside Sloan Park to connect with other adults living with T1D. Light refreshments and snacks will be provided. Once you’re done walking the route, join us in the suites 5 & 6 until noon.
