gMG on the Run

What’s a virtual 5K?

Although we are unable to safely come together in person this year, that’s not stopping us from connecting with colleagues to celebrate movement. The virtual 5K can be completed anywhere in the world, but participants should post their results and share in their journey together throughout the month of November.

Why is it called gMG on the Run?

gMG is a chronic neuromuscular autoimmune disease that often causes intense muscle weakness, making it difficult for people to do things like lift their arms, grip, rise to stand, walk, run, chew, swallow—and even smile. This event celebrates the gift of movement, while recognizing the need for awareness in gMG.

What if I can’t run 3.1 miles?
