3 walks with a purpose this Fall in Birmingham
Reading time: 3 minutes
Maybe it’s because the weather’s finally changed, but we here at Bham Now can’t stop talking about upcoming walks, runs and other ways to get outside.
Here are three more we found to keep you moving and enjoying the Fall weather.
1. 2019 Aga Khan Foundation Walk-Run Birmingham, October 20, 9:30AM-2:30PM at Railroad Park
For the past 10 years, the Aga Khan Foundation has been hosting this walk, and they’d love for us to join them this year.
The Aga Khan Foundation works together with communities around the world to break the cycle of poverty and build better futures together. They work together with 8 million people in Africa and Central and South Asia to achieve their potential and their priorities. If you’d like to see the full list of partners, check here.

2. LGBTQ Sunday Walk + Jog, October 20, 5-7PM, meet in front of BAO
Sometimes you wanna go on a walk for a cause. Sometimes you just want to make some new friends, or hang out with some that you’ve already met.
Birmingham AIDS Outreach hosts these walks regularly when the weather’s warm, and all are welcome. All ages and running experience levels are welcome.
When: October 20, 5-7PM

3. Epilepsy Foundation Presents Walk to End Epilepsy, November 2, 9AM at Railroad Park
Did you know more than 54,000 families in Alabama are affected by epilepsy? I didn’t, either. So far, the Epilespy Foundation of Alabama has raised more than $34k . By participating, you can help provide much-needed funds to understand epilepsy better.
