The event will support research, advocacy and education for lung diseases, lung cancer and COVID-19. All participants will be required to wear masks and follow current Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines. The LUNG FORCE Walk Hartford is in its twelfth year, with in-person participants completing a one mile or 5K loop, around Great River Park. Participants can also opt to “Walk Your Way,” and participate by walking in their own neighborhoods, tracking their activity online through the new LUNG FORCE app (available for Android or iPhone). In addition to the Walk, the event will include an array of interactive activities that promote lung-health awareness. All registered participants for both virtual and in-person options are encouraged to join the event’s Facebook group and download the app to share their journeys and connect with advocates and heroes.
