Walk the Walk comes to NYC!

In July 2013, Walk the Walk will bring The MoonWaalk marathon from the United Kingdom to America for the first time to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer causes. At 10 p.m., on July 20, 2013, thousands of women and men will Power Walk through the city wearing brightly decorated bras to inspire and encourage others to get fit, have fun, and raise money for breast cancer charities in New York.

Presented by Empire BlueCross BlueShield, the overnight marathon through New York City will have an estimated 8,000 participants. The MoonWalk will begin with a participant opening ceremony celebration at Randall's Island. Walkers will then depart on an up to 26.2 mile route, which will weave its way through Manhattan past the city's most iconic landmarks, lit up brightly at night. Additionally, there will be a Half Marathon option to ensure that everyone can participate no matter their fitness levels or abilities.

Barough and the Walk the Walk team are encouraging New Yorkers to get involved. Applicants and entries are available at www.walkthewalkAmerica.com. Participants are encouraged to raise at least $150.
