San Francisco, California 2023

The main difference between a virtual event and an in-person event in San Francisco 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 San Francisco 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 funds raised from the San Francisco event are donated to the Stanford Headache Center, UCSF Headache Center and UCSF Children's Hospital Fellowship programs to support training for providers in the field of headache medicine and to support local migraine & headache disease research right in San Francisco. 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.

The prizes available for fundraising for the event in San Francisco vary depending on the amount raised. You can find more information on our Fundraising page. The more you raise, the more you can earn, including things like a duffle bag, Yeti Rambler, Yeti Hopper or Apple Watch.

Strollers are no problem at our San Francisco event. We just ask that whether you are running or walking, you start toward the back of your group to reduce chances of people tripping or trying to get around you. For out and back courses, please be aware of staying to the right side of the path to keep the path open for people coming from the opposite direction.
