Run H.A.R.D. For Rare Kids 2024!

28 miles in a day? 28 miles in 2 days? Or 28 miles in 8 days! You decide...you have 8 days to Run HARD for Rare Kids and we can't wait to see how many people can complete the 28 miles!

8 miles! All in one day, one mile per day over 8 days? However you would like to do it! Track your time and complete 8 miles during Rare Disease Week and make it happen! This particular event of 8 miles is in memory of a very special little boy, Taylor "IronMan" Barta.

For those who wish to run a true 5k, here's your chance! Our cross country runners and for anyone else who wishes to partake, you can rock out a 5k for rare kids!

2/28 is Rare Disease Day! HARD core runners can rock out the 28 miles, but maybe 2 miles is more your style! Pick a day or break it up over the 8 days...it's up to you! This will be a great choice for our Fighting HARD kiddos and for others who may want to participate, but aren't really into running. Talk a few walks with the kids, hop on the treadmill, however you would like to get your 2 miles in to Run HARD for Rare Kids is fine by us!

Let's face it...some of us just are NOT runners! Some of us simply are NOT able to run, and that's okay too! Want to help us raise some awareness for Rare Diseases from your sofa? No problem...Get creative and share your posts when you are Relaxing HARD for Rare Kids! Maybe your kiddo is participating in Run HARD for Rare Kids, but you finally get a chance to Relax! Whatever the reason, we can all raise some awareness for rare diseases!
