RACE UPDATE 9/25 at 1600
Thank you for bearing with us while we face this late September nor’easter (what in the world?!)
After MUCH thought, we have decided to cancel the outside in-person event. Instead, we invite everyone to come for a kid’s fun walk/run/roll, group walk/run/roll, and party! We will be in the Phillips Exeter Academy Field House on the indoor track.
We will be hosting bib/t-shirt pickup and activities there on Sunday 9/27 with the following schedule:
12:30-1:45: t-shirt and bib pick-up; activities including panna soccer games and an obstacle course!
1:50: warm up with Dauntless Academy
1:55: race announcements and national anthem
2:00: two lap kid’s fun run
2:15-2:30: anyone who wants can run/walk/roll for 15 minutes around the track (runners, stay to the inside; walkers and rollers to the outside)
2:30-2:45: prizes! Stick around for our prize giveaway
2:45-3:30: hang out, keep moving, enjoy tattoos, face painting, hair braiding, soccer and an obstacle course!
We still invite everyone to run/walk/roll a 5K race virtually sometime between now and the end of October! Wear your shirt (and bib if you want), take a photo, and post, tagging @walkonlgmd on social media!
WE WILL NO LONGER BE AT EXETER HIGH SCHOOL. PLEASE JOIN US IN THE PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY (PEA) FIELD HOUSE at 3 CHADWICK LANE, EXETER, NH.
Park in the field house parking garage.
Turn on Chadwick Lane and follow the road past the athletic fields to the fieldhouse parking lot. Disability parking is in the back right of the garage, with access to an elevator to the lobby.
We will still have snacks! Lexi’s food truck is TBD.
Can’t make it? Please send us an email and we will figure out a way to get you your shirt and bib.
We are INCREDIBLY grateful to everyone who registered, volunteered/was going to volunteer, fundraised, sponsored, and shared the word to help Kennedy and Berkeley. We were so hoping to be able to run/walk/roll with you outside, but mother nature has other plans. Join us for this party instead!
Any questions, please email Sarah13007@gmail.com or AshMitchell84@gmail.com.
PLEASE NOTE, AS OF 9/9/2026, YOU WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE A T-SHIRT IF YOU REGISTER.
Join us for the Walk On 5K — Run, Walk, Roll, a timed 5K in Exeter, NH, bringing our community together to support families affected by Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD). Proceeds will benefit the Bailey girls, in partnership with the Dion Foundation for Children with Rare Disease. Our race will start and finish at Exeter High School!
In the summer of 2025, sisters Kennedy (9) and Berkeley (6) Bailey were diagnosed with LGMD type 2C, a rare and progressive neuromuscular disease. From the moment they received this diagnosis, their family has faced it with strength and determination—committed to pursuing treatment options and supporting the advancement of research.
Through their partnership with the Dion Foundation, this event helps raise awareness and critical funding—not only for Kennedy and Berkeley, but for all families navigating LGMD.
This day is about more than fundraising. It’s about showing up—with energy, encouragement, and community—so these girls feel supported every step of the way.
We invite you to be part of it: register, donate, volunteer, and follow their journey on social media (@walkonlgmd). Your support truly means everything.
And to our sponsors—thank you for helping make this event possible!
Please note:
Strollers are welcome, in addition to handcycles and wheelchairs! No bicycles, and no dogs~ sorry!
This is a charity 5K and, in the event of cancellation for any reason, registration fees are non-refundable. Thank you for your understanding.
