Event Details

Thank you for making our first Power Walk such a success!  This could not have been possible without the support of hundreds of our sponsors, friends, and participants!  With your help, we have raised over $100,000 to date to support Dress for Success!

Stay tuned for details this fall about the 2011 Power Walk for Dress for Success!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the walk and what is the route?
The walk is a 5k (3.1 miles) distance on a paved, flat course along the Hudson River.

Can I run and will I receive my official finish time?
The Power Walk for Dress for Success is a fun walk, so we ask participants to refrain from jogging or running. However, brisk walking is highly encouraged! Because this is not a race, we will not be providing finish times.

Can I bring my children? What about my dog?
Yes, we encourage our walkers to bring their children.  So many of the women we serve are mothers and so much of what we do impacts the lives not only of these women, but of their children and families.  And yes, we think dogs are family too, so they are welcome as long as they are on leashes!

Can people attend the event and not participate in the walk?
We ask that all guests officially register for the event so that we can anticipate attendance numbers. Guests do not have to participate in the 5k walk, but we have designed the course and overall event to be accessible for all ages and fitness levels. We hope that joining together for the walk will be a fun and meaningful part of the event!

Can I register the morning of the event?
We will offer a limited number of on-site registrations for $30 per walker. However, we highly encourage you to register in advance either online or by mailing/faxing the registration form.

Can I register offline?
Yes, you can register offline, form a team and collect donations by downloading the forms below.  However, you will be missing out on all of the online fundraising features like your own personal fundraising page and the ability to track all of your donations online.
