3 Ways to Connect With the 3-Day on Facebook

In this day and age, social media might be the most common and efficient way people have to connect to each other, no matter where they call home. The 3-Day community is active across several social media platforms, but none more than Facebook, and we have three different ways that you can connect to your fellow 3-Dayers there.3DAY_2016_Social_Text_SocialIcons_Facebook

The 3-Day’s Main Facebook Page – Our main Facebook page is the best place for you to stop in and find the latest updates about the entire 3-Day series. You’ll also regularly see important links to blog posts, the 3-Day website and some information about local events such as meet-ups and training walks. This main page is THE hot-spot for all the posts we share from the 3-Day events themselves, including photos, fun video clips and, if necessary, any time-sensitive on-event updates (2015 Twin Cities camp relocation, anyone?). If you haven’t already, be sure to Like this page and select “See First” from the dropdown menu. That way, you’ll be sure the 3-Day’s posts appear in your Newsfeed and you won’t miss a thing!see first

The 3-Day Coaches Pages – In addition to the 3-Day’s main Facebook page, the 3-Day coach teams (there are 3 coaches for each event location) each have a separate Facebook page just for their event. So if, for example, you’re registered to walk in Seattle and you have a question about an upcoming workshop that you want to attend, you can get straight to the Seattle coaches on their page. These pages are especially good for announcements and info that are specific to one particular event, like host hotel info or Online Check-in deadlines. Click on the links below to get to the different coaches pages, and don’t forget to Like them too!

The 3-Day Facebook Events – We have set up Facebook events for each 2016 3-Day (think: your online invitations to the 3-Days). These Events are a terrific way to see who else is headed to your 3-Day, and to have conversations with your fellow participants. Visit the Events you’re going to, and “RSVP” so your 3-Day friends know you’ll be there!

12 Things to Say to the Person You Want to Walk With You

Right now, all over the country, 3-Day participants are busy recruiting friends and family members to their teams. We’ve shared some great tips in other blog posts (here, here and here) about how to talk someone into walking with you, but for today, we’re offering a few short easy phrases that might just be the perfect thing to say. Try some of them or all of them on the person you want to walk with you!

  3. “Please. Pretty please!”
  4. “Have I told you how great you look in pink?”2015_3DAY_SDfri_EDB (367)
