5th Annual Katie's Grace + Grit 5K

Miles for Migraine will host its 9th annual 2-mile Walk, 5K Run and Relax Massachusetts event on Saturday July 18th at Carson Beach (Mother's Rest Area) in South Boston. 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.

The Alex G. Kokoros Memorial Fund - and H.O.P.E Beyond the Badge foundation offer Hope, Comfort, and Support to First Responders and their Families when Stress, Trauma, and Mental Health Challenges create personal and familial struggle. Together we are helping to destigmatize conversations around First Responder Trauma, and making it easier for First Responders and their Families to seek Help.

Join us in a 5K Run/Walk to benefit First Responders and their Families.

Culturally competent First Responder mental health & wellness programs will be on site and available to provide information about the services they provide.
