Walk or run a marathon
The Joints in Motion training program is designed to guide people of all ages and fitness levels through an extensive training program to complete a marathon or a half marathon. Approximately 80% of all Joints in Motion athletes have never run or walked a marathon before, but with our careful guidance and encouragement, nearly all of them go the 13.1 mile or 26.2 mile distance and cross the finish line.
The perceptions about arthritis vary, but the numbers don't lie:
Arthritis is one of the most prevalent chronic health problems and the nation's leading cause of disability
46 million Americans have doctor-diagnosed arthritis and chronic joint symptoms
300,000 people with arthritis are children
Arthritis costs the US economy nearly $128 billion annually in lost wages
There are more than 100 forms of arthritis
Your participation in Joints in Motion enables you to honor someone living with arthritis, increase awareness of this disease and raise much-needed funds for research, advocacy initiatives and programs to improve the lives of people with arthritis.
