American Heart Association, in partnership with Fremont Street Experience, is hosting the 2016 Heart & Stroke Walk and Run on Sat., Nov. 5. More than 5,000 health-minded individuals will walk or run with family, friends and survivors of heart disease and stroke. Attendees can take steps toward building a stronger and healthier life by participating in either a 5K or one-mile walking route, or a timed 5K heart run. After the event, Fremont Street Experience invites attendees and the community to fly on SlotZilla, the world’s ultimate zipline, from noon to 7 p.m., where 100% of all revenue will benefit the American Heart Association. Flight times can be purchased at the SlotZilla box office or can be booked in advance online at www.vegasexperience.com.

“Everyone at Fremont Street Experience always looks forward to this annual event and we are excited to welcome this year’s attendees as they participate in this incredible cause,” said Patrick Hughes, CEO and president of Fremont Street Experience. “We extend an invitation to the entire community to not just walk or run for the event, but to also fly on SlotZilla and help raise even more money for the American Heart Association.”

SlotZilla ticketing, will call and check-in office is located next to the SlotZilla takeoff tower on Fremont Street between 4th Street and Las Vegas Boulevard. Parking is available at the Fremont Street Experience parking garage with an entrance off 4th Street just north of Carson.
