Worcester Walk to Defeat ALS

We are thrilled to be having our 2022 Worcester Walk to Defeat ALS at Worcester's brand new Polar Park, home of the Worcester Red Sox (WooSox), on Sunday, September 18, 2022!

Once we kick off the event with our opening ceremonies, walk or roll our 1-mile course right on the baseball field. We'll have coffee and breakfast offerings to get you started that morning. 

We can’t wait to welcome special guest Smiley, the Woo Sox’s iconic mascot, stopping by to encourage all of us on our walk. Be sure to flag Smiley down for a photo with your team!
