I will be walking into a college coaches office with no meeting in about a week. Should I bring a parent in with me or go by myself?

What the hell does this mean?
Did you mean "coach's" office, as in, an office BELONGING to a coach?
What does "no meeting" mean?

He seems to think that the coach won't be there. He said that he won't have a meeting.

So you are going to walk into the offices of several coaches but you wont meet with them. I don't think the coaches will want a person who wont meet with them wandering around their offices. I wouldn't bring my parents because that sounds like a waste of their time.

Go by yourself if you are comfortable doing it. A college coach wants to deal with you as an adult.
I'm not sure how much you have to gain by doing this walk-in, but maybe you've got nothing to lose. As a TA and later as a professor, I was never harsh with any who came to my door unannounced, but I wasn't always able to accommodate them. If you catch the coach when he's there and you get in, he'll probably at least let you know the score.

Here's what will happen:
no one will be there and the door will be locked.
For the sake of argument, lets say you picked a good time, and there is a 50% chance the coach will be there (there is not, but play along).
If someone is there, 25% chance he tells you to come back at x time, 25% chance he'll answer a few questions.
In none of these situations should you bring a parent, you're an adult now kiddo.
But why are you doing this without setting up a meeting? Let me guess you just had to run D1, but didn't meet the walk on times. You were going to run them this summer, but couldn't make it?
If my guess is right, if you want to continue your running career, its time to look into nirca.

This isn't a movie. Either you have the times or you don't. If you have the times, contact the coach via email (professionally, not how you posted) or phone to set up a meeting.
Even then, the coach may have no interest for reasons beyond your control.
Again, this isn't a movie. The coach isn't going to be charmed into anything. If there's no spot, move onto the next program.
