2023 Run, Walk & Roll

ODC’s Run, Walk & Roll is BACK!

AUGUST 13th -19th

Sponsorship & Registration

ODC'S RUN, WALK & ROLL EVENT IS BACK!!

Run, Walk & Roll began in 2020 as a way to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, and feel connected with friends and family without the ability to meet in-person. Today, over three years later, Run, Walk & Roll carries on the tradition of connecting people and communities by quite literally connecting individuals of all abilities with members and businesses in our local communities. With almost 2,000 participants across the Midwest over the last three years, we continue to feel inspired to make a difference every day in the lives of those we support. Support local ODC programs and services by joining the annual tradition of running, walking and rolling to connect our communities!

HOW DOES THIS EVENT WORK?

During the event week, YOU chose when and where you participate! You can run, walk or roll (by scooter, wheelchair or bicycle) around your neighborhood, on your local walking or running paths- Or even stay at home and use the treadmill! We encourage you to participate using whatever form of exercise makes most sense to you! Don’t forget to post photos and videos to social media using #ODCRunWalkRoll and feel connected by seeing everyone else participate as well! We encourage you join us on Thursday, August 17th at 6pm where ODC will host five simultaneous in-person events (Wisconsin Rapids, Stevens Point, Marshfield, Wausau & Merrill) to show our combined support for connecting people and communities.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
