Join us for the 2nd Annual
Miles For Migraine - Kansas City, MO
Miles for Migraine will host its second annual 2-mile Walk (or Intentional Movement of your choice), 5K Run and Relax Kansas City Event on Saturday May 29th at English Landing Park. This fundraiser for Migraine & Headache Awareness, Treatment & Research will take place as a live event following current COVID-19 protocols for safety. For those who are not comfortable with in-person events, we will also offer a virtual option.
All funds raised will benefit Childrens Mercy Kansas City to support local migraine research and fellowship training programs.
Virtual Participants:
If you choose to participate as virtual participant, you will commit to completing a walk, a run, or any type of intentional movement (bike, swim, skate, hike, etc) or your own relaxation activity at a time and place that works for you between May 26 - June 3. You will upload your results and a selfie, via a link provided to you a few days in advance of the scheduled event. Remember, our events are not just for walkers and runners.
We will mail out your swag bag for receipt by May 25th (if you sign up after May 18th, the bag will be mailed on June 4th) 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.
In-person Participants:
Our in-person event will have COVID safety protocols in place, including a waved start with small batches of participants. You will receive your swag bags the morning of the event.
ALL: Dress up in your best purple flair and post to social media for another chance at a fun prize!
