Event summary

Join us for the heartfelt 2024 Empty Stroller Run & Walk hosted by the Adalyn Rose Foundation on Sunday, October 27th, 2024, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, along the beautiful Lackawanna River Heritage Trail at the Olive Street Trailhead. This annual event, now in its fifth year, invites loss families and supporters to come together in a meaningful way to honor babies and provide essential support for families who have experienced the loss of a child during pregnancy, infancy, or early childhood. Participants can choose to take part in a 5K or 10K run or walk, either in-person at our Scranton location or virtually from anywhere between October 1st and October 31st.

Create a team, fundraise, and spread the word as we come together to honor precious memories and make a lasting impact. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a compassionate
