Sickle Cell Awareness Walk & 3K
This community walk and 3K takes place in West Palm Beach at Dreher Trail South on October 3, 2026. The event is organized by the Sickle Cell Foundation of Palm Beach County and Treasure Coast, Inc. and is presented as an awareness activity to honor people living with sickle cell disease and trait and to remember those who have died from the condition.
The program offers in-person and virtual participation options. In-person entries are listed as adult and youth categories. Distances are offered as a short walk from 1K up to 3K (0.6 to 2 miles). A virtual participation option is available for those who choose to take part from another location.
Registration opens June 8, 2026 and closes July 19, 2026. Listed registration fees are $40 for adult registration, $20 for youth registration, and $40 for the virtual option. Proceeds support the foundation's programs that provide education, family support, and services aimed at improving quality of life for people affected by sickle cell disease and trait.
The event description notes that the walk is named in memory of a former Walkathon Poster Child and frames the day as both a tribute and a community awareness effort. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
