Arizona AIDS Walk Run & Roll 2026 supporting Aunt Rita's Foundation


Before we start, the park comes alive with food trucks, entertainment and a lively vendor village filled with community partners and local businesses. It is the perfect spot to gather with your team, meet new people and enjoy the morning before heading out on the course.
The event is built to be fun, inclusive and meaningful from start to finish. Whether you are running, walking, rolling or cheering, you help support programs that make a real difference for people living with and affected by HIV across Arizona.
Arizona AIDS Walk Run & Roll is a community event where every person counts. People of all ages and abilities come together to support those living with HIV, honor those we have lost and push for a healthier future for Arizona. You can walk, run, roll, bring your family, gather your friends or join as a team. Every step creates awareness and every registration helps fund testing, prevention, education and support services for people right here in our state.
We also celebrate the incredible effort of our supporters with awards for the top fundraising teams, top individual fundraisers, standout kids and even our amazing fundraising dogs. It is a fun way to highlight the passion and generosity that keeps this event strong year after year.
This day is all about movement, connection and purpose. Whether you move at your own pace, take your time or cheer from the sidelines, you are part of something meaningful. Your participation shows that no one faces HIV alone and that our community is stronger when we show up together.
Get ready to bring the energy and bring your pup to Paws for the Cause at this year’s Arizona AIDS Walk Run & Roll. Your four-legged sidekick can strut right alongside you as we raise support for HIV and AIDS services across Arizona. This is a chance to celebrate community, show love and make an impact with every single step.
Registered dogs get fun Paws for the Cause swag and we will have treats, water stations and plenty of moments that are perfect for photos. It is lively, joyful and full of good vibes. Every wag and every paw print helps move us closer to an HIV free future.
This year, we’re aiming to set new fundraising records for Arizona AIDS Walk Run & Roll, and we’ve launched a new fundraising program to help get us there.
