The Bloody Fun Run - Miles & Smiles Challenge is a running race on July 1 – October 17, 2026 in Seattle, WA.
From the Organizer
The Bloody Fun Run: Miles & Smiles Challenge
Walk. Run. Fundraise. Celebrate.
The Miles & Smiles Challenge is a fun way to support the Bleeding Disorder Foundation of Washington while staying active and connected with our community.
Participants choose their own mileage goal and fundraising goal—whether that's 5 miles, 50 miles, or 500 miles. Every mile completed and every dollar raised helps support BDFW's patient assistance programs, educational events, Camp I-Vy, advocacy efforts, and family support services.
How It Works
✅ Register for the Miles & Smiles Challenge
✅ Set your own mileage goal
✅ Create your personal fundraising page
✅ Share your story and invite friends and family to support your efforts
✅ Track your miles throughout the challenge
✅ Join us on October 18, 2026, at Green Lake for the Bloody Fun Run/Walk celebration
