Miles for Migraine will host its 8th annual 2-mile Walk, 5K Run and Relax DMV Event on Sunday October 6th, at Burke Lake in Fairfax Station Virginia. This event is a fundraiser for Migraine & Headache Awareness, Treatment & Research.

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!
Funds raised will benefit the MedStar Georgetown Headache Center to support local migraine research and fellowship training programs as well as Miles for Migraine programs & services.
