Lace up your sneakers, because Systems Unlimited’s Sensory Walk & 5K is returning! On Saturday, November 7, the people we serve and our community alike will come together in Iowa City to participate in our 1-Mile Sensory Walk or our 5K and enjoy one sensory experience after another. With your incredible support last year, we were able to have fun and raise funds for System Unlimited! With our first in-person event under our belt, we are so excited to bring this event back to you, bigger and better.
We are sure some of you are wondering what a Sensory Walk is. At Systems Unlimited, many of the people we provide services to have specific sensory needs. With that in mind, we made sensory the theme of our event! Throughout the 5K and 1-Mile routes, you will find stations set up to engage each sense.
This year, the stations you will find are:

Cotton Candy Scented Bubbles
Ribbon Tunnel (Bigger and better this year!)
Scent Stations
Bubble Wrap Stations
Art Displays by the People We Serve
Flower station (with modifications since last year)
And more!

All participants in this event will receive:

An event shirt designed by multiple members of our Monticello Day Program
A 5K Finisher Medal (5K Participants only) designed by a person served
A 1-Mile Finisher Enamel Pin (1-Mile Participants only) designed by a person served
A fidget toy

In addition to this event, through donations, we are able to host a 12-week walking club for the people we serve, leading up to the event, and allow the people we serve to participate in the event free of cost. This created opportunities for friendship and healthy habits among the individuals we serve, all without any financial burden.
Make sure to join us in making a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve and have an amazing time at the Live Your Best Life Sensory Run & Walk.
