Join us for the 1st Annual
Miles For Migraine - Morgantown, WV
Miles for Migraine will host its 1st annual 2 mile walk, 5k, and 10k Run in Morgantown as a Virtual Event. This Fundraiser for Migraine & Headache Awareness, Treatment & Research will take place at a time that works best for you between Sept 16th and Sept 24nd. The original event was scheduled for Sunday September 20, 2020.
All funds raised will benefit the West Virginia University Headache Center.
We will mail you out your swag bag for receipt by Sept 20th (if you sign up after Sept 15th, the bag will be mailed on Sept 25th) that includes your participant shirt, an event bib and finisher medal. There may be a few other goodies included too! NOTE: For participants outside the US, there will be an additional $15 shipping fee to cover the extra cost.
As a virtual event, we encourage you to practice safe social distancing recommendations. Remember, our events are not just for walkers and runners. You complete your walk, your run or your own "Just Relax" activity at a time and place that works for your schedule. Upload your results via a link provided to you a few days in advance of the scheduled event.
Dress up in your best purple flair and post to social media for another chance at a fun prize!

Event Day Details
If you are unable to attend Packet Pickup, you will be able to get your packet between 7:45AM-8:45AM on race morning.
There could be a long line, so plan accordingly. We do not mail packets out after the event. If you are unable to attend, we encourage you to ask a friend or family member to come pick up your packet for you; a great way to practice advocating for your needs.
Friends and family are welcome to pick up packets for each other.
If you registered as a Volunteer, Advocate or Fundraiser Only, there is no need to attend packet pick up on Friday.
Gear Check:
We will have a Gear Check tent Saturday morning. You can use the bottom portion of your bib to mark your bag and then plan to pick up your items after you finish your walk or run.
Just Relax Tent:
Come join us in our new Just Relax Tent and color some relaxing mandala's with us.
Pain, such as that experienced with migraine, can be disruptive to so many arenas of life. It can also be difficult to explain to others what that pain is like for you. Art can be a powerful tool for expressing thoughts, emotions and conveying experiences to others and a particularly helpful tool in giving a face to your pain that others can begin to comprehend. One purpose of the My Brain Art Tent is to provide people with the opportunity to use different visual art materials to express what their migraine looks like and feels like to them as well as a chance to see the images others have created. What does migraine look like or how are they felt by a caregiver? Our hope is to provide an a space in which people can take time out to tune into their experiences with migraine creatively. Using art to express our experiences with pain can also help reduce pain, either through distraction or through visualizing healing and comfort in the face of a painful moment. Making art may also help shift how you feel about migraine. You are not alone, we are here for one another and when we create art together we begin to celebrate and honor our shared experiences and feel a greater sense of support and belonging.
