Soles Walking 4 Souls Virtual Walk-a-Thon 2026

About the Walk

This October, Soles Walking 4 Souls is bringing our community together in a new way with a 9-day Virtual Walk-a-Thon. From October 23 through October 31, you can participate from anywhere, your neighborhood, a local park, a walking trail, a treadmill, or even while traveling. This event coincides with Red Ribbon Week, helping raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl and the impact of substance use disorder on individuals, families, and communities.

There is no required distance and no required pace. Walk one mile or many miles, all at once or throughout the week. Participate alone, with your family, friends, coworkers, your dog, or gather a whole team.

Walk in Honor or Memory

Walk in honor or memory of someone you love.

Participants are encouraged to dedicate their walk to someone lost to fentanyl poisoning or substance use, someone currently in recovery, or anyone whose life has been impacted by the drug crisis.

How to Participate

• Walk anytime between October 23–31
