Every registration, every lap, every story shared sends a clear message: lupus warriors are not invisible here.

Why We Walk

Lupus may be invisible, but our support is not.

Lupus often has “no face”, its symptoms are misunderstood, overlooked, or hidden. This walk shines a light on the realities of living with lupus and raises support for those quietly fighting every day.

Support local lupus warriors

Funds raised through the walk help provide transportation assistance, support groups, and educational resources for individuals and families living with lupus in our community.

Raise awareness & understanding

By showing up, you help educate friends, family, and neighbors about lupus — what it looks like, how it feels, and how to support those affected.

Build a stronger, healthier community

The walk is also a celebration of movement and wellness. You’ll leave feeling energized, connected, and inspired to keep advocating for better health for all.

Is there a registration fee?

There is no required registration fee to participate in the Lupus Has No Face 6th Annual Walk. The event is free and open to the community. Optional donations and fundraising are encouraged and go directly toward supporting lupus education, outreach, and support services locally.

Can I bring my family and friends?

Yes, this is a family-friendly event. Children, strollers, and support teams are all welcome. When you register, you can indicate how many people are in your group so we can plan for the right amount of space and supplies.

What if I can’t walk the full length?

You can walk as much or as little of the route as feels right for your body. There are rest areas along the way, and you are welcome to simply join us for the opening ceremony, warm-up, and community gathering if you prefer not to walk.

Are pets allowed?

Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome unless park rules or weather conditions require otherwise. We ask that you clean up after your pet and be mindful of participants who may be nervous around animals.

What happens if it rains?

The walk will be held rain or shine, with safety adjustments as needed. In the case of severe weather, we will email all registered participants with updates and any changes to the schedule.

Take a step for those living with lupus.

Your walk is more than a workout — it’s a show of strength, solidarity, and hope for every lupus warrior in our community.
