Wear Your Buddy Walk® Shirt!

Show your Buddy Walk® spirit on event day by wearing your official 2026 Northeast Ohio Buddy Walk® shirt! Buddies will stand out in their tie-dye shirts, while registered participants will wear tropical blue. Together, we’ll fill Mall C with a sea of blue as we celebrate our Buddies and light the way together!

Buddy Walk® Route

The Buddy Walk® route is approximately one mile through downtown Cleveland. Participants are welcome to complete the full route or take an early finish option for a shorter walk. Choose the route that works best for you and enjoy the celebration every step of the way!
