About the 26th Annual African American Wellness Walk: Moving Hearts & Soles
The route runs through Island MetroPark, a riverside park in Dayton. The course is a walk-friendly loop on park paths, and the event draws a large crowd with a short program before the walk begins. A virtual option lets people participate from anywhere on the same morning.
