Fall is bittersweet. Hot days give way to cool, overcast skies. It's a bummer, and yet... it's also the perfect time of year to get outside for a walk or run. This fall you'll have a few ways to do just that-and support powerful causes, too.
The first such event is just around the corner! Check out the schedule below. If you participate, you'll not only feed your need for fitness, you'll also help a variety of organizations fight tough diseases - like breast cancer, diabetes, leukemia, heart disease and arthritis!
