The Methodist Sports Medicine Research and Education Foundation embraces a crucial long-term role in the advancement of orthopedic medicine.
The ATI Foundation is dedicated to assisting children with physical impairments.
The goal of this special event is to raise funds for both organizations' missions.
This 1K/5K event was created to celebrate individuals returning to an active lifestyle following joint replacements and orthopedic implants. Participants who fit this mission are invited to participate at no cost, as this is your day of triumph over pain.
(Please note, all participants do need to register below). Family and friends are encouraged to register and join you in your celebration.

Metal Walk & Fun Run
This event is a fun, non-competitive walk/run to raise money for the Methodist Sports Medicine Research and Education Foundation and the ATI Foundation.
The Metal Walk is designed as a unique event for individuals with joint replacements or other orthopedic implants, and their supporting family and friends. Come celebrate triumph over pain and a return to a physically active lifestyle. All participants may choose from either a 1K or a 5K course.
The event is open to all: competitive runners, leisurely joggers, walkers, families, etc. The course at Eagle Creek park is paved and begins at the Beach Shelter area. The walk/run will not be officially sanctioned or chip timed. We will have a clock at the finish line for those who are interested in viewing their approximate time as they finish.
Team Registration
While there is an option to register individually, we are also encouraging participants join together and register as teams to help raise additional funds by obtaining pledges. Prizes will be awarded to the team with the most participants and to the team that raises the most money.
Two Options for Creating/Joining a Team:
1. Register yourself and all your team members within one transaction. As the first person registering you will CREATE A TEAM name. Then you will have the option to checkout or add an additional person, be sure to have each additional person JOIN your team.
2. The captain will register him/herself and create a team, then check out. They will notify their friends that they have created a team. Each teammate can then register and choose JOIN A TEAM, and select the team name from the dropdown menu.
