Join us as we bring the 5K to Fight Histio to Colorado Springs, CO., home of Pike's Peak America's Mountain, Garden of the Gods Park, Olympic City USA, and the United States Air Force Academy. Together, we will run/walk to raise funds for ground-breaking research, to increase awareness of a disease that all too often goes misdiagnosed and provide support to each other as we fight Histiocytosis.
The 5K To Fight Histio began in New York City in 2013, after Liam's Lighthouse Foundation and its supporters wanted to expand their outreach and awareness. The race has taken place every year since then, often exceeding 500 registrants prior to race day, with last year being our first year in Colorado!
This 5K helps families from around the world gather together for a cause they hold close to their hearts and raise much needed funds for the research of Histiocytosis. Join us and REGISTER today!
Every step taken and every dollar raised brings us closer to the ultimate finish line...A CURE!
**DEADLINE TO PERSONALIZE TEAM SHIRT IS MIDNIGHT ON 5/24/24.
Each registrant receives the following:
●Personalized team shirt and custom race buff
