About the 17th Annual Mark Walden Memorial Walk/Run
This race is tied directly to the Sickle Cell Foundation of Tennessee, and the cause is present throughout the morning. The event raises awareness of sickle cell disease, and organizers set up resources on-site, including trait testing and social services enrollment. It is a walk and run together, so the field moves at many different paces along a route through Sea Isle Park.
