2023 Piedmont Triad One Walk
No matter where you live in central North Carolina—from Burlington to Wilkesboro, from Greensboro to Pinehurst, from Asheboro to Winston-Salem, from High Point to Reidsville, and everywhere in between—please join JDRF for our first-ever, full-on, all-encompassing Triad One Walk on Saturday, October 28, at Triad Park in Kernersville! Please celebrate your team’s success and the strength of the T1D community in a way that makes the most sense for you.
Option 1: Triad Park Schedule of Events
Come out to Triad Park—bring a pop-up tent and a picnic brunch—and take advantage of a beautiful fall day! (We have access to several playgrounds and have reserved two huge shelters with plenty of picnic tables.)
Vendors will be available throughout the morning at Walk HQ in Shelter 7. While you are there, be sure to visit our volunteers at the New Family Welcome Area, Youth Ambassador table, Advocacy table and more. There will be plenty of fun for everyone throughout the park.
All walkers with T1D will receive a special giveaway and all V1Ps-our top individual fundraisers-will receive a commemorative lanyard, voucher and more, at check-in.

*Map and activities subject to change.*
Option 2: Walk anywhere, anytime, your way!
Create a walk route in your neighborhood, challenge yourself with a long hike, or walk indoors on a treadmill— however you choose to walk, October 29 will be a day for our community to celebrate our stories, recognize our accomplishments, and walk to change the future for everyone living with T1D.
