Miles for Migraine - Vermont 2026

2 Mile Walk - 5K Run - Relax

Miles for Migraine will host its 9th annual 2-mile Walk, 5K Run and Relax Vermont event on Saturday September 19th at Veteran's Memorial Park in South Burlington. 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.

The 5K run is professionally timed. The Walk and the Relax events are free, but donations are encouraged. All walk and run finishers receive a finisher medal.

Dress up in your best purple flair for a chance at a fun prize!

Funds raised will benefit Miles for Migraine free programs & services as well as the University of Vermont Medical Center Headache Clinic to support local migraine research and fellowship training programs.
