The Arthritis Walk® is the signature fundraising event for the Arthritis Foundation. But it’s not just an event, it’s a celebration of year-round movement to help prevent and treat arthritis.

Every year we get together to celebrate movement and make a positive impact on the lives of people living with arthritis by raising funds for arthritis research, education and life improvement programs in communities across the country.

Our rallying cry, Let’s Move Together® encourages people to get up and get moving. When you join us at the Arthritis Walk®, you’re not moving alone-you are becoming part of a community looking to achieve better health and change lives at the same time. We hope to see you there!
