Raleigh Run for Rare 5K

Get ready to lace up your sneakers for the 2026 Raleigh Run for Rare 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk! Kicking off bright and early at 9 AM on March 28, whether you're racing for your personal best in the timed 5K or taking a leisurely stroll in the 1 Mile Walk, there's a pace for everyone. Not an early bird? No problem! Pick up your packet from 7:30 AM and join us afterward for a celebratory picnic that's sure to be a blast.

This is more than just a run; it's a mission to raise awareness for MPS and ML, and we invite participants of all ages and abilities to join. Snap and share your journey with #MPSAwareness to be part of the movement! Can't be there in person? Run virtually whenever, wherever, and even break it into bits – every step counts towards the finish line.

And don't forget, registering early ensures your commemorative t-shirt, so hop to it and secure yours! Sponsoring the event? We've got levels for every supporter, from Platinum to Team, each with fantastic perks. Remember, it's not just about the run; it's the people, the stories, and the community we build together. Let's run, rally, and make a difference for the rare!
