This impactful event will take place on Sunday, September 27 at 10:00 a.m. at Shepherd Hill Regional High School.

All proceeds from the Run/Walk will be donated to JAK-L and Brake the Silence, two local organizations that share our mission of supporting mental health awareness and services.

Join us for the Walk On 5K — Run, Walk, Roll, a timed 5K in Exeter, NH, bringing our community together to support families affected by Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD). Proceeds will benefit the Bailey girls, in partnership with the Dion Foundation for Children with Rare Disease. Our race will start and finish at Exeter High School!
In the summer of 2025, sisters Kennedy (9) and Berkeley (6) Bailey were diagnosed with LGMD type 2C, a rare and progressive neuromuscular disease. From the moment they received this diagnosis, their family has faced it with strength and determination—committed to pursuing treatment options and supporting the advancement of research.
Through their partnership with the Dion Foundation, this event helps raise awareness and critical funding—not only for Kennedy and Berkeley, but for all families navigating LGMD.
This day is about more than fundraising. It’s about showing up—with energy, encouragement, and community—so these girls feel supported every step of the way.
We invite you to be part of it: register, donate, volunteer, and follow their journey on social media (@walkonlgmd). Your support truly means everything.
And to our sponsors—thank you for helping make this event possible!
Please note:
Strollers are welcome, in addition to handcycles and wheelchairs! No bicycles, and no dogs~ sorry!
This is a charity 5K and, in the event of cancellation for any reason, registration fees are non-refundable. Thank you for your understanding.

Not Sure Where to Start? Start Here. 🎯
Your first summit or the hardest endurance Event on Earth.
Both live here.
IronHike is a veteran-owned elevation-based endurance event series and New England's premier vertical trail endurance event series. No gondola, no shortcuts. Earn every up and every down. The self-powered Everesting alternative on the East Coast. You earn every descent.
If you've done 5Ks, half marathons, or weekend hikes and keep asking what's next — this is what's next. No running required. If you can walk up a mountain repeatedly, you can do this.
You won't go up alone. The Tribe is already there — at 2 AM, at the base, on the trail. Shared suffering builds something that finish-line medals don't.
💰 Individual registrations from $145.
Veterans, Military & First Responders from $75 with code brave70.
All athletes get $50 off with code reg50.

💡 What to Know
Mountain Athletes' Guide — Mohawk Mountain
Everything you need to know about the course, the venue, training, gear, and what to expect on the mountain. Read it before you arrive.
📖 Read the Mountain Athletes' Guide
The FlexRelay Format
At IronHike we use a FlexRelay format for each of our Events. We call them FlexRelays because they are flexible. Each team member, whether in the Trail Buddy or Trail Family event, has no minimum or maximum laps, mileage, elevation, or time on the course. Teams manage who is on the mountain for how long and when, according to conditions, fitness levels, and the needs of the team.
Common Questions
Do I need to be a runner? No. IronHike is a hiking Event. If you can walk up a mountain repeatedly and keep moving, you can do this. Running is never required.
What if I can't finish? Every lap is earned. There is no shame in stopping. Every Mountain Athlete sets their own ceiling — the Event ends when you decide it ends, or when the Final Bell rings.
Cancellations, Deferrals & Transfers
Policy: No refunds, deferrals, or transfers between series. Upon request, you may receive an 80% credit toward any future event (no expiration). All sales final.
