Walkie Walrus • May 20, 2021

Prizes and Perks for Park Participants

Notwithstanding these crazy times and the need to Social Distance ourselves, we want to reward those that get out to the parks and enjoy the fresh air that a sunny Sunday in May has to offer.

Here's how to get entered in the 30th Chubu Walkathon prize raffle.

General Raffle

To qualify for the general Walkathon raffle, just visit one or more of the featured parks and take the following actions:

Wear your official 30th Walkathon T-Shirt*
At the park(s) take a selfie at the Walkathon tent, with an official Walkathon Volunteer, or a known park landmark.
Post your photo to Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #walkathon30

You will receive a raffle entry for each park that you visit. And anyone visiting all 3 parks will receive a surprise bonus!

*If you haven't purchased and received your 30th Walkathon T-Shirt, you can show proof of online purchase to the Walkathon Volunteers (your email receipt), OR you can make an on-site donation of ￥1,000 or more.

A big thank you to IKEA Nagakute, Hyappa Brewery, and an anonymous donor for the fantastic prizes!

Coupons and Extra Perks

Several local businesses are offering some great coupons and discounts to participants at the official Walkathon Parks.

Thank you to the following local businesses for taking part, and we hope you will all get out and support these fine local establishments when you get the chance.

Let's Be Careful!

Though we are encouraging people to get outdoors and walk the walk, we also want to stress the importance of best practices in Social Distancing. Make sure you participate within your normal life bubble, and minimize contact with Walkathon Volunteers and other participants. Wear a mask at all times, please.

We, on the Walkathon Committee, look forward to 2022 when we truly hope to be safely back in one park with everyone.

Stay safe people!
