Miles for Migraine will host its 12th annual 2-mile Walk, 5K Run and Relax Pennsylvania Event hosted in Philadelphia on Sunday, September 29th, 2024, at the Navy Yard. This event is a fundraiser for Migraine & Headache Awareness, Treatment & Research. It's more than a walk/run - come connect with your local migraine & headache community, listen to our speakers & visit sponsors in the festival area. Registration is free!!
All walk and run finishers receive a finisher medal. 5K run is professionally timed. Dress up in your best purple flair for a chance at a fun prize! We'll also have our special Map the Migraine Treasure Hunt to learn more about migraine.
There are 2 options to join - in person in Phila., or virtually in Pittsburgh. Funds raised in Phila will benefit the Jefferson Headache Center and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to support local migraine research and fellowship training programs as well as Miles for Migraine programs & services.
Funds raised in Pittsburgh will benefit a Miles for Migraine Programs and Services or a future fellowship program at Allegheny General Headache Center.
