USD Center for Disabilities is excited for our Run Walk & Roll event to return for its 5th year on Saturday, September 12th, 2026! Run Walk & Roll is an inclusive event open to people of all ages and abilities. Our goal is to promote health and wellness for all people in South Dakota, and to have fun while doing it! Events include a timed 5k and a 1-mile FREE fun run, walk & roll. There will be yoga in the park, a mascot race, a food truck, and more! You won’t want to miss this event!
Our 2026 event will spotlight the critical role early childhood development plays in shaping lifelong health, learning, and well-being. By bringing together families, professionals, and community members, this inclusive event raises awareness that every child develops differently and emphasizes the importance of early identification, intervention, and support for developmental needs.
