Walk, Run or Relax | April 21, 2024

Connecticut 2024

Our annual Hartford event for migraine is a fundraising event organized by our nonprofit to raise awareness and funds for those affected by migraine and headache disease. We have a professionally timed Hartford 5K run and an untimed walk. Funds raised go towards supporting local migraine research, education for headache fellows (doctors getting specialty training in the field of headache medicine) as well as Miles for Migraine programming here in Connecticut.

Frequently Asked Questions

The main difference between a virtual event and an in-person event in Connecticut is that a virtual event can be completed from anywhere, while an in-person race requires participants to physically be at the event location on the event date. In a virtual event, participants can complete any form of intentional movement, at their own pace and on their own schedule, while an in-person race follows a set course and schedule. Virtual Participants have their event swag and finisher medal mailed to them for an added fee.

Registration for the in-person event is completely free and open to all. You can register for the Connecticut event on this registration page. Simply select whether you'd like to participate in-person or virtually, the event you want to participate in (2 Mile Walk, 5K, or Relax), fill out the registration form, and submit your information.

All proceeds from the Connecticut race for migraine go towards funding migraine research, education, and advocacy efforts.

All funds raised from the Hartford event are donated to Hartford Healthcare Headache Center and Yale Headache Fellowship programs to support training for providers in the field of headache medicine and to support local migraine & headache disease research right in Hartford. Funds are also used to support Miles for Migraine programming. By participating in the event, you are helping to raise awareness of the impact of migraine and supporting the efforts to find better treatments and a cure for this debilitating disease.
