		<description><![CDATA[Someone asked about the cost of organizing a walkathon.

It depends on what all you need to cover but here is an estimate.  Assume about $10 per person if you have 200 or more people, but then add the general expenses.  For example, my kids school walkathon, with about 200 participants, cost just under $2000.  Note that we had no facilities or police charges.  Here is a break down:

Per Person: T Shirt = $5.50 at most, Lap cards, lanyards, small prizes = $2.50, Miscellaneous = $2 Total = no more than $10 per person
Fixed:  
Yellow tape and cones to mark the course = About $150 for a schoolyard event
Extra trash pickup or janitorial services= ??
Outhouses = ??
Rent, borrow or purchase canopies and tables = ??
Have concessions items donated or charge for them = net profit only
Do you need to pay for facilities or police supervision = Call officials who are associated with your site
Do you need to cover insurance or is that part of a school where the insurance would be covered (check with principal)?

Other readers, if you have expenses I haven&#039;t listed, please feel free to add a comment.  Thanks, Lee]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Theresa, Welcome to the site.  I hope it can be of help.  I agree - it could be a very spiritual experience.  I find that even reading the stories of so many walking events and the people who organize them is indeed spiritual.  Best of luck to you.  -Lee]]></description>
