Virtual Hope Walks Details

What Does it Mean to Go Virtual?

On Sunday, October 24, 2021, walk around your neighborhood, go to the park, walk your dog, head to the beach or hop on the treadmill. We are encouraging walkers to walk two miles but choose what feels right to you! Just be sure to do it safely and follow social distancing guidelines.

You can walk where you like – Walk around your neighborhood, go to the park, head to the beach or hop on the treadmill.

You can walk with who you like – Walk with your friends, family, teammates, your dog or do it solo.

You can walk when and how long you like – Traditionally, the walk kicks off at 10am and walkers have the option of doing a 1, 2 or a 3-mile walk. Since you are doing this your own way, you get to pick the time and the length of walk that works best for you.
