Registration is open for the 13th Annual Walk/Run for Abilis.Register for both the Walk and the Run at abilis.us/walkrun.

The Walk/Run for Abilis is our largest annual awareness building and community fundraising event. It is a family-friendly activity for people of all ages and abilities that celebrates inclusion and diversity. This is the one event we do each year in which all of our families and their children can participate. 

The funds raised through the Walk/Run event help Abilis provide state of the art services for over 700 people of all ages with a wide range of intellectual, developmental, social, emotional, and physical challenges, as well as education and advocacy supports for their parents. 

Whether you choose to walk, run, or simply enjoy the scenery and camaraderie at Tod’s Point, you will enjoy a fun-filled day with music, food, and lots of activities for kids! This year we are adding a Childrens' Area, with carnival games, arts & crafts, bouncy castle, face-painting, bubble bus and more! 

So put on your sneakers and join us for an inspiring day!
