About the Miles for Migraine Los Angeles
Miles for Migraine is a fundraising event tied to migraine and headache awareness, held at Woodley Park in Van Nuys. It has a walk option, a timed run, and a "Relax" option for those who want to show up without covering ground. The festival area has speakers and sponsor booths, giving it the feel of a community health gathering as much as a race.
Purple is the theme, and some runners dress for it. The walk and relax options are free to enter, with donations encouraged. Proceeds support free programs through Miles for Migraine and a local headache research center.
