Participants traverse a section of Scull Creek Trail during the 2010 event.
People of all abilities are invited to roll, walk or run for fun Thursday, Oct. 11, on a three-mile route in the Wilson Park area of Fayetteville as part of Disability Awareness Month activities sponsored by the University of Arkansas and Sources for Community Independent Living Services.
Registration for the event begins at 5 p.m. at Wilson Park with the walk starting at 5:30 heading north on Scull Creek Trail and returning to Wilson Park. Wheelchairs, bikes and strollers are welcome.
Fleet Feet Sports will provide timing for those who want to know, but the event is mostly about fun, exercise and inclusion. It is also co-sponsored by Fayetteville Parks and Recreation and Brooks Graphics.
