About this event
The Houston Heart Walk is the American Heart Association's premier community event in the region, expected to draw roughly 10,000 participants to TMC Helix Park in the Texas Medical Center. This family-friendly morning celebrates local heart-disease and stroke survivors while raising funds for cardiovascular research and education. Alongside the walk, the event anchors a citywide push to improve CPR readiness, teaching hands-only CPR skills that can save lives when cardiac arrest strikes outside a hospital. Participants can walk as individuals, with families, or on workplace teams, and are encouraged to fundraise for the cause. Registration is free and the atmosphere is festive, with survivor recognition, health education, and community activities. The Helix Park setting offers green space and easy access within the medical center. Come out to move for your heart, learn lifesaving skills, and celebrate the progress being made against the nation's leading causes of death.
