The Kat Walk

About the Event

Welcome to the second annual Kat Walk.

Ken & Kat Atwood are committed to raising awareness about encephalitis through communication and education. Their goal is to ensure others are best equipped to advocate for themselves and their loved ones.

Encephalitis affects one person every minute, worldwide. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is crucial to saving patient lives and limiting brain injury. But, the first step is research; which is critical. As a result of the Inaugural Kat Walk in 2025, almost $9k was donated to MAYO JAX specifically for encephalitis research!

The Kat Walk is an untimed, half-mile route along the Port Orange riverfront. Whether you walk or run the entire distance or a few steps, you will be celebrated by a BIG Cheer Zone at the red-carpet finish! THIS is the Kat Walk for EVERY body without regard to physical limitations!

By registering for the Kat Walk, you are showing those who are directly and indirectly affected by encephalitis that they are not alone.

So, join us on a walk to remember! Together, we're raising awareness one step at a time! We are stronger together because nobody fights alone!

We look forward to seeing you on the Kat Walk!
