About the Miles for Migraine North Carolina
The race takes place at Jamison Park in Winston-Salem, with a walk option and a timed run on the same morning. The event leans toward the headache and migraine community rather than the racing crowd, and there is a festival area with speakers and sponsors after the finish. Funds go to a local headache research and fellowship program.
Purple is the color of the day, and people show up dressed for it. The post-race area has the feel of a patient and advocate gathering as much as a finish-line crowd, with talks and sponsor booths set up alongside the usual recovery spread.
