From the Organizer
Miles for Migraine will host its 5th annual 2-mile Walk, 5K Run and Relax NYC Event at Randall's Island. 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.
All walk and run finishers receive a finisher medal. 5K run is professionally timed. Dress up in your best purple flair for a chance at a fun prize!
Funds raised will benefit the Montefiore, Weill Cornell, and Mt. Sinai Headache Centers to support local migraine research and fellowship training programs and Miles for Migraine programs & services.
