Join the Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego for the 2026 Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk., a movement that brings our community together to educate, spread awareness, and make a difference for the people we love who live with epilepsy.

This event is dedicated to the memory of Sharon Rosenfeld, a nurse and teacher who cared deeply about epilepsy and advocated helmet safety. Click here to learn more about Sharon and helmet safety.

After you cross the finish line, there will be a community picnic with live music, food trucks, lawn games, and more. We encourage families to bring their own blankets, beach chairs, and umbrellas.

Sharon's Ride.Run.Walk. San Diego is a 15-mile Bike Ride or 5K Run/Walk, but it’s more than that.

It matters because

• 1 in 10 will have a seizure in their lifetime

• 1 in 26 will be diagnosed with epilepsy

• 50,000 San Diegans live with epilepsy

• 3.4 million individuals nationwide are affected by epilepsy

Epilepsy is more than seizures. Every story matters in this fight. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn to meet our San Diego community affected by epilepsy and read personal stories of why this matters.

• 9:15am: 15-mile Bike Ride start
