2026 Miles for Migraine - Massachusetts

The 9th annual Miles for Migraine event takes place at Carson Beach in South Boston. This community gathering serves as a fundraiser to support migraine and headache awareness, treatment, and research. The event includes a festival area where attendees can connect with the local community, listen to speakers, and visit various sponsor booths.

Participants can choose from several in-person activities or a virtual option:

  • 5K Run: A professionally chip-timed race for runners.
  • 2-Mile Walk: An untimed walk where participants may turn around at any point.
  • Relax Event: A non-competitive option with a dedicated tent for sitting, coloring, and socializing.
  • Virtual Event: An option for remote participation through activities such as walking, cycling, or yoga.

All finishers in the walk and run categories receive a commemorative medal. The 5K run features awards for the first-place male, female, and non-binary overall finishers. Additional recognition is given to the top individual fundraiser, the top fundraising team, and the largest advocate team. Attendees are encouraged to wear purple clothing to be eligible for a spirit prize.

The event site at Carson Beach includes a hydration station and a festival area. While the walk and relax categories are free to enter, a registration fee is required for the timed 5K. Proceeds support free programs and services provided by the organizing foundation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
