Run Rare 5k
Run Rare 5k is scheduled for March 13–14, 2027 in Jacksonville, Arkansas, at 1 Paradise Park Rd. The event includes both an in-person 3.1 mile race and a virtual 5K option so participants can take part on site or remotely.
The event is organized by Rarety, a nonprofit that focuses on education, youth empowerment, outreach, and resources for families affected by rare diseases. Its stated purposes include raising awareness of rare conditions, highlighting the experiences of people living with them, and providing a space of unity and support for families, caregivers, and advocates.
The event was created by a Class of 2026 student who has been living with a rare disease and who received study-based care at the National Institute of Health. The race description emphasizes visibility for rare disease stories and support for ongoing programs run by Rarety.
Fees differ by entry type: the in-person 3.1 mile race lists a registration fee of $15.00 and the virtual 5K lists a registration fee of $10.00. Registration after March 6, 2027 does not include a shirt, but a shirt can be purchased and mailed separately.
