PACKET PICK-UP:
Packet PickUp days allow those who registered online to pick up
their T-shirt and ID band, and sign registration forms. The packet
will also contain a 'bib' upon which the participant may write the
name of a person affected by prostate cancer whom they wish to
acknowledge (living or deceased). Online registration and the packet
pickup process will spare registrants from having to arrive early and
stand in line on event day. Once they pick up their packet, they can
plan to arrive on event day just early enough to get a parking space
and allow 10 minutes to walk from the UofR PARK LOT to the Roundhouse
shelter for Step-off at 10am. Packet Pick-Up will be conducted at two
locations on the following dates and times:

registration process and get their admission-wrist-band. Onsite

appropriate that non-aggressive dogs-on-leash with responsible
families be allowed to join us. However, every dog must be registered
at the _Pups for Prostates _registration level [FREE] and possess a
current shot record. Prize for the leash/collar most decorated in
color blue. Winner announced at Closing Remarks.

costumes are discouraged and will not be considered for prizes.

~ MISCELLANEOUS ~
ABOUT THE TITLE:
The letters "S, E and A" stand for "support, education and awareness",
the mission of our patient-centered program at _Us TOO
Rochester_. Blue is to PROSTATE CANCER AS PINK IS TO BREAST
CANCER. For this reason, we want a _SEA-of-Blue__ _at the
4TH ANNUAL S.E.A. BLUE RIBBON WALK. Participants will be welcomed
with blue balloons, blue bracelets, and blue RIBBONS. Blue face-paint
and blue surgical gloves will also be available for those who wish to
show even stronger support. Don't forget "PUPS FOR
PROSTATES": Man’s _best friends_ are invited too!
ABOUT THE TRAIL:
Each of the one mile or two mile trails is relatively level, easy to
navigate and provides intermittent shade. Participants using
wheelchairs or walkers should be accompanied by a responsible friend
to assist as needed. [Fees for the assisting friend will be
waived.] Accessible public restrooms are available along the walk.
WHERE TO PARK:
Parking for this event is made available at the University of
ROCHESTER '_PARK LOT'_. Here's how to get to the correct parking lot
which is on UR Campus but adjacent to the park:
* From Elmwood Avenue, turn onto Wilson Boulevard toward the UR
campus.
* Turn right, onto Trustee Road, just before the information
booth.
* Go to the end and turn right again onto the un-named extension of
Intercampus Drive.
* Drive across the overpass into the larger parking lot on your
right.
* Lock your vehicle and proceed down the walkway leading into the
park.
* Walk to the left along Moore Road about 300 ft (going into the
park, away from campus).
* Cross Moore Road when you see the only driveway on your right
(before the bridge).
* The driveway leads to the Roundhouse Shelter where the walk
begins.
* Accessible public restrooms are along the trail.
