About the Miles for Migraine Houston
Miles for Migraine Houston takes place at Willow Waterhole, a green space that keeps things open and walkable. The event draws people who are personally connected to migraine and headache conditions, so the atmosphere feels less like a typical race morning and more like a gathering. Runners and walkers share the course, and a festival area with speakers and sponsors fills out the rest of the morning.
Post-race, the festival area stays active with speakers and sponsor booths, and there is an informal purple dress-up tradition with a prize for the best outfit. The event raises money for local migraine research and free support programs, so the purpose is present throughout the day, not just on the registration page.
