Miles for Migraine will host its 5th annual 2-mile Walk, 5K Run and Relax Wisconsin event on Sunday August 9th at Hart Park in Wauwatosa. 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.
The 5K run is professionally timed. The Walk and the Relax events are free, but donations are encouraged. All walk and run finishers receive a finisher medal.
Dress up in your best purple flair for a chance at a fun prize!
Funds raised will benefit Miles for Migraine free programs & services as well as the Medical College of Wisconsin Headache Center to support local migraine research and fellowship training programs.
