Save to Favorites

We are in the process of changing the date for this event. If you would like to be notified of the new date and new information as we have it available, please email Suzanne. We will keep this opportunity updated as we book. The potential to be during the week, evening walk & run is strong in the attempt to keep weekends free for families and friends to reconnect after the long stretch of social distancing.

We hope you and your families are safe and healthy during this time. Please feel free to check out www.heart.org for COVID-19 updates, information how AHA is assisting, and for wellness information.
