Miles for Migraine will host its 4th annual 2-mile Walk, 5K Run and Relax Hartford Event on Saturday April 22nd, at Bushnell Park. 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.
All walk and run finishers receive a finisher medal. 5K run is professionally timed. Dress up in your best purple flair for a chance at a fun prize!
All funds raised will benefit the Hartford Healthcare Headache Center, Yale Headache Center to support local migraine research and fellowship training programs as well as Miles for Migraine programs and services
