Joe’s Run, Walk & Roll

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 27th Annual Joe’s Run, Walk and Roll. Each and every person who attended, volunteered, and worked behind the scenes played a huge role in making it a successful and fun day. Your support is greatly appreciated and we can’t wait for Joe’s Run, Walk and Roll in 2024.

Joe Lubarsky, a champion for people with disabilities who himself lives with Cerebral Palsy. The event earned its name in 1988 when Joe first took it to the street soliciting pledges to run 10 miles from home to work in the dead of winter. In 1996, the fund raiser was moved to the fall with all invited to join and has grown into the family-focused community run, walk and roll that it is today.

Joe’s Run, Walk & Roll benefits the programs and services provided by Broadscope Disability Services, a non-profit organization serving the needs of people with disabilities through programs such as independent living, respite care coordination, and supportive employment.

Joe’s Run, Walk, & Roll is a competitive 5k run and a fun walk/roll that is designed to be accessible for anyone who would like to participate. This event is held at Hart Park in Wauwatosa. Participants can expect a fully-accessible outdoor route, family activities including arts and crafts, outdoor games, raffles, and a light lunch. Joe’s Run, Walk, & Roll started out in 1975 with a sit up contest held in a basement led by its sole participant, Joe Lubarsky, a champion for people with disabilities who himself lives with Cerebral Palsy. The event earned its name in 1988 when Joe first took it beyond the basement to run 10 miles to work, and in 1996 it grew into the family-focused community 5k that it has become today.
