Saturday, June 27, this event is now a virtual event

Run to Erase Epilepsy is Going Virtual!

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 risk, limits on event sizes, and keeping in mind the health and safety of our constituents, the Run to Erase Epilepsy 5K Run/Walk will be held virtually. While we had hoped to have the race at a later date, it’s clear that this will not be an option. Even though we will not be able to physically be together to raise epilepsy awareness, we can still come together virtually.
