My group HAP project, the "Walks of Life" walk a thon happened today. I'm very happy with how the event turned out. A lot of the walking groups came out to participate as well as a couple people from UCSD which made the event very successful. At 9am people started coming in, and chatting with one another. Everyone was very pleasantly surprised by the t-shirts and the people I talked to said that they would wear the shirt again. We ended up running out of sizes that people needed and having 4 small shirts leftover. We started off the walk with a stretch and then Jayson led the way for the course. I heard a variety of opinions from people saying the walk was too short, and saying that it was just right. The walk allowed a lot of nice conversations and the weather was ideal as well. The walking groups appreciated the water, snacks and most importantly, the raffles! The winners of the AMC, Starbucks and Amazon giftcards were very pleased and surprised. I received feedback from many people on how to improve the event for the future: providing nametags to further facilitate conversation, having more than 1 route for people who prefer to walk a little longer, specifying on the flyer what time the walk should start (we started past 9:30am) and having more Large/X-Large T shirts. For our first walking event ever though, it went much better than I had anticipated, and hopefully next year's LCS can continue this event.
