Race Overview:

Join us for WALK FOR A PURPOSE 2025!

Walk For A Purpose is for all ages and all fitness levels. Choose the month-long virtual option, join our in-person community walk at Alparon Park, Troy PA or do both!

VIRTUAL OPTION:  Walk anytime…anyplace…at your pace. Walk at the park, on the trail, on the treadmill or around your neighborhood. Lace up your sneakers and take short, casual walks or strap on the Fitbit, ratchet up your stride, climb some hills and seriously track your steps. You have the whole month of October to reach the step goal that fits your ability and challenge level.

IN-PERSON OPTION: Join our community walk at Alparon Park, Troy PA on Saturday, October 4, 2025 from 9 am – 12 pm. Walk at your own pace and start and stop whenever you want. You choose how long and how far you walk.

Walk For A Purpose is not a race. It is an expression of support and compassion to help us ALL live longer, healthier lives in a world without breast cancer.

FEES & PERKS: Adult registration is $25 and kids always walk for free! 

— Survivors: Your registration fee includes a complimentary Survivor t-shirt

— Walkers: To keep our fees super-low, your registration fee does not include a t-shirt. However, we encourage you to make it official and add an official 2025 Walk for a Purpose t-shirt for just $15. Kid sized shirts available too! Let's walk together and dress together to show our united support!

— When you purchase a t-shirt, look for additional fun swag to arrive in your pink package.

— Refreshments & water (at the October 4 community walk)

WALK STRONGER TOGETHER—BUILD A TEAM!

Walking  is even more meaningful when you do it side by side. Rally around a friend currently in treatment, join together with your co-workers, gather your family in memory of a loved one, form a group from church or the neighborhood…the options are endless! Pick a creative team name and cheer each other on.

Form a team in 3 simple steps: 1) Register, 2) Click ‘Create a Team,’ 3) Invite friends to join

OR join a team already in place: During registration select "Join a Team"
