Mundo Esperanza Spirit Walk 2026
The Spirit Walk on November 7th is a personal challenge with a shared purpose. Choose your distance — 20, 10, or 6 miles — and follow a path that moves through Madison’s neighborhoods, parks, prairies, woodlands and natural spaces. Challenge yourself. Walk together. Give hope.
This is not a race. It is an opportunity to step onto the path, embrace the challenge, discover what you are made of, and see what you carry back with you. Proceeds support Mundo Esperanza’s Community Hope Fund, helping communities turn locally identified needs into meaningful projects that improve lives and create opportunity.
