The 17th Annual Walk/Run for Abilis will be held on Sunday, October 16, at Greenwich Point Park (Tod’s Point). The Walk/Run for Abilis includes a 5k run, a one-mile accessible walk, family-friendly activities, and more.
Participants can walk 1-mile or run a 5k in-person or participant virtually from anywhere in the world. Participants are encouraged to register in advance at abilis.us/walkrun. Registration is free for walkers, $40 for 5k runners 18+ and $20 for runners ages 11-17.
This event is a fundraiser for Abilis, a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides services and supports to more than 800 individuals with disabilities and their families from birth through the life span. Abilis has been a leader serving the special needs community in lower Fairfield County since 1951 and has a long-standing reputation for high-quality care. Join us for a fun day of running, walking, and celebration, all in support of a good cause! To learn more, register to walk or run, or donate, visit abilis.us/walkrun.
Proceeds provide critical funds for Abilis programs and services that support those with disabilities. The Walk/Run is Abilis’ largest annual fundraiser and signature “friend-raising” event of the year.
Prizes are awarded for best outfits and teams are encouraged to create team t-shirts, buttons, hats or create their own banner to increase visibility, show team spirit and potentially win an Abilis creativity award! Those who choose to participate virtually, from another county, state or country, can do so and post on social media with the hashtag #walkrunforabilis.
