Eighth Annual Special Olympics Walk-A-Thon Will Be Held Sunday, March 7th, 2010

The Special Olympics Bonaire will hold it’s eighth annual Walk-A-Thon to raise funds for their programs for the island’s participants in Special Olympics.

Those interested in participating should plan on checking in at the Slave Huts at 5:00 AM this coming Sunday.  Everybody is welcome, and the route may be walked, run, or cycled.  The entire route is 30 kilometers, but participants can finish whenever they are tired or ready.  Entry fee is FL 25.00 (about USD $14.00) and includes a t-shirt, water and snacks en route, and lunch at the finish.  Tickets are available at TCB, Chat ‘n’ Browse, or from the board members or coaches of the Special Olympics Bonaire.

The water and snack stations will be set up every five kilometers (about every 3 miles) and will include only healthy snacks.  Lunch at the completion of the route will be served from 10:00 AM through 1:00 PM at Pasadia Karino Rincon.  T-shirts can be picked up at Hotel Rochaline either tonight from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, or Saturday, March 6th, from 10:00 AM through 4:00 PM.

Come out for some great exercise and help a worthy cause!  (Source:  Special Olympics Bonaire)
