Online registration is a $30 donation. On-site registration is $35 at the Walk. Children under 12 are free with a paid adult. Persons affected by the disease of obesity, family, friends, colleagues, and healthcare professionals unite and walk to raise local awareness of the disease of obesity in this annual nationally held event.

The Walk from Obesity is an excellent way for individuals and communities to come together to promote health, wellness, and a shared commitment to fighting obesity.
