On Saturday, October 3rd, Miles for Migraine invites you to its tenth annual Walk, Run, and Relax DC/VA/MD event at Laurel Hill Central Green Park in Lorton, Virginia. This year's gathering is more than a simple walk or run; it’s an opportunity to connect with your local migraine and headache community, engage with speakers, and explore the festival area filled with sponsors. Participants can choose between a 2-mile walk or a timed 5K run through scenic trails that wind around Laurel Hill Central Green Park. Both events offer runners and walkers alike the chance to enjoy fresh air and beautiful surroundings while raising awareness for migraine and headache conditions. The event also features a Relax component, where attendees are invited to unwind in the festival area. All finishers will receive a commemorative medal upon completion of their chosen activity. For those who want to add some flair, dressing up in purple attire could earn you one of several fun prizes on offer. Funds raised from this event support Miles for Migraine’s free programs and services as well as the MedStar Georgetown Headache Center's research initiatives and fellowship training programs aimed at advancing local migraine care. The 2-mile walk is a leisurely way to explore the park while engaging with fellow participants, while the timed 5K run challenges runners on varied terrain. Both events are designed to foster community support for those affected by migraines and headaches. The festival area offers an array of activities and information booths where attendees can learn more about available resources and connect with local healthcare providers. Join us at Laurel Hill Central Green Park this October for a day filled with awareness, connection, and relaxation in the fight against migraine and headache conditions. Please note that while the walk is free to participate in, donations are encouraged. The event promises an enriching experience for all attendees, whether you're there to support a cause or simply enjoy the company of like-minded individuals.
