By paying the registrant fee, you will receive a collectible lapel pin, as well as a FINISHER certificate upon successful completion (not to mention getting into the best shape of your life!). The 2007 Idita-Walk proceeds will go to benefit many different youth programs in the Nome, AK area. Your paid participation (register here) can make a wonderful difference in the lives of the Nome youth. Everybody wins! Please join us today, and invite a friend or two!

Walktopia Footnote: Idita-Walk is an Alaska-based fundraiser that's also a wellness inspiration. With a name derived from the famous Iditarod Alaskan Trail Sled Dog Race, it's a virtual walk with real-world rewards. You ever dita walk? I did and got a cool t-shirt plus my name name up in lights (#295 in 2005).
