Join us for the 6th Annual
Miles For Migraine - Chicago
Miles for Migraine will host its sixth annual 2-mile Walk (or Intentional Movement of your choice), 5K Run and Relax Chicago Event on Saturday June 19th at Diversey Harbor/Lincoln Park. This fundraiser for Migraine & Headache Awareness, Treatment & Research will take place as a live event 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 the Loyola Fellowship in Headache Medicine Program in their support for the Diamond Headache Clinic
In-person Participants:
Our in-person event will have COVID safety protocols in place, including a waved start with batches of participants. You will receive your swag bags the morning of the event.
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 June 16-24. 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 June 14th (if you sign up after June 9th, the bag will be mailed on June 25th) 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.
ALL: Dress up in your best purple flair and post to social media for another chance at a fun prize!
