Uniting North Texas to Save Lives at the Annual Heart Walk
The North Texas Heart Walk is an annual event that brings together nearly 50,000 walkers to participate in a 5k or 1-mile walk in Dallas and Fort Worth. This event has become a must-do weekend activity for the North Texas metroplex, promoting physical activity while raising awareness for heart health and supporting the mission of the American Heart Association.
Joining the Heart Walk for a Cause
On Saturday, September 21st, the Dallas Heart Walk and the Fort Worth Heart Walk will kick off at 7:30 AM with festivities at the base of Reunion Tower in Dallas and the Shops at Clearfork in Fort Worth. Participants can choose between a non-competitive three-mile or one-mile route, making it accessible for walkers of all ages and fitness levels. There is even a designated area for furry four-legged walkers to join in on the fun.
The American Heart Association, a Dallas-based organization, has been a leading advocate for heart health for a century. Through their relentless efforts, they have contributed to significant medical advancements in the fight against heart disease and stroke.
