The Aga Khan Foundation’s Walk & Run events have been a key initiative for over 25 years, raising awareness and funds to end global poverty. Through events across major U.S. cities, these walks inspire community involvement, with over 500,000 participants raising more than $63 million since 1995. The walk highlights the power of partnerships that transcend borders and unite people worldwide in the fight for peace and prosperity.  Exhibits at the events showcase the Foundations's solution to global challenges, engaging participants of all ages.

The Walk & Run 2024 will consist of four unique and exciting experiences
