Breakthrough T1D One Walk Jacksonville
Important Walk Day-Of Details:
DATE: Saturday, April 13, 2019 (Rain or Shine)
TIME: Check-in/Registration opens at 8:00 a.m. / Walk Starts at 9:00 a.m.
Arrive early to turn in money at Registration, take part in aerobic warm ups, and enjoy a light breakfast! There will be lunch, music, and fun for the family following the Walk (including bounce houses, face painting and games for the kids).
LOCATION: University of North Florida, Hodges Stadium 1 UNF Drive Jacksonville, FL 32224
There are 3 ways to enter, we suggest using the Beach Blvd. entrance as it is the closest.
PARKING: Free parking has been reserved for Breakthrough T1D Walk participants in lot 18
(Note: If you are a V1P Walker and have received a special parking pass, you will be parking in Lot 18, up closest to the stadium.)
WALK ROUTE (3 miles with a 1 mile option)
If you or a loved one have type 1 diabetes, it’s always a good idea to bring diabetes supplies with you during the Walk. However, if you are experiencing a low blood sugar along the route, you can ask for a juice at water stations. Inside Hodges Stadium, you can visit First Aid if needed.
**No Pets are allowed as UNF is a Pet Free School. Please leave your furry friends at home this year.
TURNING IN MONEY ON WALK DAY: On Walk day, registration/check in will open at 8:00 a.m. This is where you will go if you have any money to turn in, have not yet registered, or need to pick up a Breakthrough T1D t-shirt ticket if you’ve raised $100 or more. (T-shirt tickets may be redeemed at the t-shirt tent)
Registration/Check In will be located directly inside the entrance of the Stadium and will be marked with signs. Please make sure to turn in all monies BEFORE Walk starts, as registration will close when the walk starts.
On Walk day it’s very important that envelopes at registration are filled out completely. This will ensure that the proper Walker is credited and the money collected counts to your team. Data provided on the envelope will be critical for the data processing center that will be entering donations onto your walker pages.
TURNING IN MONEY PRIOR TO WALK DAY: We request that if you are turning in money to the Breakthrough T1D office before the Walk, please do so by Wednesday, April 10th or before. Staff will not be at the office on Friday, April 12th to collect your money.
Additional Walk Day Participation Info:
Register: You can still register for the One Walk at https://walk.jdrf.org
**Please register all of your walkers so that we can have an accurate count for police and food.
Photos: If you’d like to have a team photo taken to remember Walk day 2019, make sure to visit our Team Photo station located to the right at the bleachers when you walk in. (Photo links will be emailed the week following the Walk).
New Family Tent: If you have never been to a Breakthrough T1D One Walk or you are newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes please make sure you visit the New Family tent for a special something for you! You can also learn more about Breakthrough T1D, how to become a Breakthrough T1D advocate and much more.

THANK YOU for all that you’re doing to help further research for a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications. We appreciate you so very much! Keep up the great work until Saturday’s Walk day and beyond! And, don’t forget, money can be turned in up until late May, so, keep fundraising – we need your help now more than EVER!
Without the generous support of this year’s sponsors, the Breakthrough T1D One Walk would not be possible!
