Whether you’re a seasoned runner, leisurely walker, or yoga enthusiast, the PeDRA Dash for Discovery annual hybrid event offers the perfect opportunity to support PeDRA’s mission while staying healthy and having fun!
Run, walk, or flow—anytime, anywhere from October 10–17, 2026—and support research that transforms the lives of children with skin disease.
Attending the 2026 PeDRA Annual Conference in Alexandria? The Dash runs alongside the Conference, so you can hit the streets or unwind with a group yoga session with your friends and colleagues on Saturday, October 17. Select an *in-person* option during sign-up.
New this year! Pick a fundraising team to make your Dash even more meaningful! Driving most of PeDRA’s research and organized by disease-specific research areas, our Focused Study Group (FSGs) are collaborative teams of clinician-scientists who work together to generate new research ideas, deepen understanding of childhood skin diseases, and improve outcomes for patients and their families. By selecting an FSG, you can direct your fundraising efforts toward a specific area of childhood skin disease research that matters most to you—helping accelerate discoveries and advance care for children with skin disease.
Please note: All registrants are required to select an FSG team as part of registration; however, fundraising is completely optional. If you choose to participate, you can raise money for your FSG team and make an even bigger impact!
The first 100 registrants score a race t-shirt! In-person participants will receive their t-shirts upon check-in. Virtual participants located in North America will receive shirts in the mail. Virtual participants outside of North America are ineligible to receive a shirt. Requested t-shirt sizes are not guaranteed, and will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
