Miles for Migraine will host its 6th annual 2-mile Walk, 5K Run and Relax Boston Event on Saturday July 22nd, at Castle 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!
All funds raised will benefit migraine research and fellowship training programs in the US as well as Miles for Migraine programs & services.
