How many different ways can you do a lap aroud the walkers up all night without time to takeforty winks.
Early on the evening of June 20, relay participants will start arriving to set up their camp sites. While those with know how pitch their tents, others will set out the luminarias or organize games to pass the the night. Some may settle down with a good book while there is still light and some will get going around the track. It is not a race, and people will be going at different paces.
If relayer follow the script, first will come those dressed in the theme of their campsite. Next will be the Awareness Ribbon Theme Lap. On this lap, people will wear different color ribbons to highlight their particular awareness of the disease. And as the night wears on, look for the relay to get crazier and crazier with rope jumpers, bubble blowers, crazy hat wearers, book balancers, tennis players, hockey players, soccer players and more.
Whatever else you expect, don't expect the night to be dull. You may sleep under the stars or huddled in your tent. But remember, this event takes place rain or shine. So bring your umbrellas, raincoats, and galoshes, just in case.
