About the Event

The event is powered by the nonprofit organization Rarety, which was founded by a student who has a rare disease. The 5K is described as a movement to honor and amplify the voices of people living with rare conditions, often referred to as "rare warriors." Its stated purposes are to raise awareness for rare diseases, share the stories of those affected, provide a unifying space for families and advocates, and support Rarety's programs in education and youth empowerment.

The event invites people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to participate by walking, running, or rolling, either in person or virtually, in solidarity with the rare disease community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
