Walkers and runners are all ages and participants can walk as individuals, families, groups, work teams and more. There will be a high-energy warm-up before the start of run and walk. Refreshments are available before the Walk and Run and throughout the course, and volunteers are stationed along the Walk route to insure that walkers stay on course. The Atlanta City Police provides traffic control along the route.
Definitely! This is a very family friendly event and attracts walkers and runners of all ages! Given that Vibha’s vision is to provide a brighter future for underprivileged children, it makes perfect sense to get your children involved. Strollers are welcome too!
