Why It Matters

Chances are someone in your circle deals with arthritis, from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis to gout, ankylosing spondylitis, or juvenile idiopathic arthritis. You’ll be joining a movement that’s spent forty years helping people manage pain and live fuller lives through breakthrough research and support programs.

The Community Comes Together

You’ll spot Northwest Arkansas teams bringing the festive spirit throughout the morning. Office crews, neighborhood groups, and local businesses turn out in holiday gear for the cause. The Dragon Slayers, Baking Spirits Bright, Washington Rheumatology Clinic, and Slim Chickens represent just some of the community members you’ll see on the trails.

A Morning Dedicated to Impact

You’ll find runners, walkers, and holiday sweater enthusiasts filling Lake Atalanta’s trails for a morning centered on arthritis research and support. This year’s goal is to reach $27,000 for the foundation and every registration and donation is a step towards that goal. The scenic Rogers location welcomes participants of all paces, from those racing for personal bests to others strolling with friends and family. The common thread is showing up for a cause that’s been making a difference, one festive step at a time.
