Walk/Run for Abilis

The 19th annual Walk/Run for Abilis will take place on Sunday, October 13, at the Clam Bake area at Greenwich Point Park in Old Greenwich, Connecticut. Participants can walk 1-mile or run a 5k. Participants are encouraged to register in advance at abilis.us/walkrun. Registration is FREE for walkers, and $35 for 5k runners 12+ or $5 for runners ages 11 and under. This year’s Walk/Run for Abilis will feature the popular Carnival for a Cause, kids’ activities, Abilis Gardens & Gifts and more! The funds raised from the 2024 Walk/Run for Abilis will be restricted to new initiatives at Abilis, ensuring Abilis’ continued support of serving the more than 800 individuals and their families supported annually in Fairfield County. Walk/Run for Abilis provides a fun opportunity for family, friends and Abilis community members to join together for a morning of physical fitness and to enjoy the beauty of Greenwich Point Park. Walk/Run for Abilis is the organization’s largest annual fundraiser and its signature “friend-raising” event of the year. Many who take part in Walk/Run for Abilis do so because they are inspired by a friend or family member with a developmental disability. Teams are encouraged to create team t-shirts, buttons, hats or create their own banner to increase visibility, show team spirit and potentially win a prize. The morning event is held rain or shine and opens at 7:30 a.m. for registration. A fun run warm-up is at 8:30 a.m. with music and dancing, with the run starting at 9:00 a.m., and the walk at 11:00 a.m. The whole event is over by 12:30 p.m.
