Thurston County Walk to End Alzheimer's

September 22, 2026

Walk With Us to End Alzheimer’s

This Saturday, join Senior Services for South Sound as we walk to End Alzheimer’s!

There’s no fundraising requirement to participate on our team. Simply showing up matters. Whether you walk the full route or come out to cheer on the sidelines, we’d love to have you there as we show our support for those living with Alzheimer’s, their families and caregivers.

Event Details:

Saturday, September 26

Heritage Park in Downtown Olympia - Meet us at the Olympia Senior Center at 9:00 am to walk to the event as a team (optional).

Registration: 10:00 am

Ceremony: 11:00 am

Walk begins: 11:30 am

The full walk is 1.79 miles around Capitol Lake and takes approximately 40–60 minutes. The route is completely flat and paved.
