By committing to this event, and pledging to raise money for its success, you are helping raise invaluable fund to promote scholarship, community development, and health in the Greater Johnstown community. We are dedicated to this population and all proceeds raised from the event will allow us to offer academic scholarships to area youth and facilitate community development activities. This year, the proceeds will benefit the Wilfred and Karen (Carter) Brandon Scholarship, which is coordinated by the WILLStrong Foundation and the Community Foundation of the Alleghenies, and the Women's Help Center of Johnstown, PA.

Online contributions can be made by credit card on the runner’s personalized page found on our event website, wizathon.com/willstrong. Just make sure to tell your sponsors to select your name from the list of runners.
No! The walk/run is designed as a day of fun and fitness for the whole family. The event is designed with you in mind. The number of miles you walk/run is totally up to you. Shuttles will be available to event participants.
In addition to the walk/run, a finish line festival will be held immediately following the walk/run.
Meet us at the finish line for fun and community fellowship. The finish line festival will feature face painting, games, cool giveaways and raffles, music by DJ Prospect, and food items for sale.
