About the Miles for Migraine Washington D.C.
The course runs through Laurel Hills Park, a green open space that gives the morning a park-run feel. There are distance options for walkers and runners, and the surrounding festival area draws people who are there as much for the community as the course. Speakers and sponsor booths fill the post-race space, and the event ties directly to migraine research and headache care.
The park setting means easy access to the start and finish in the same spot. A festival area is set up nearby, so after you finish there is somewhere to linger, hear from speakers, and connect with others in the migraine community. Wearing purple is encouraged, with a small prize for those who lean into it.
