Miles for Migraine will host its 7th annual 2-mile Walk, 5K Run and Relax Washington D.C. Event on Saturday September 16th, at Anacostia Park. 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!
All funds raised will benefit the MedStar Georgetown Headache Clinic to support local migraine research and fellowship training programs and Miles for Migraine programs & services.
