Join us on the Stroke Comeback Trail
Presented by Adventist HealthCare & CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield
Raise stroke awareness and support survivors in their comeback journey.
This is a virtual event in honor of World Stroke Day, October 29! Pick a time between Thursday, October 28 and Sunday, October 31, 2021 to complete a route of your own choice. Participants can choose a 5K Run, Walk or Roll, or the 1-mile Survivor Challenge. Once you’ve finished your route, simply log in to the race registration website, record your results, and celebrate your accomplishment!
Proceeds will benefit the Stroke Comeback Center and our community of stroke and brain trauma survivors committed to living successful and productive lives. We are a non-profit organization that offers support along the slow road to better. Our members, professionals, volunteers, and families know that recovery continues forever. Thanks to generous donor support, no stroke survivor is ever turned away for inability to pay.
Registration:
- 5K Run/Walk/Roll: $35
- 1-Mile Survivor Challenge: $35
- Youth Run/Walk/Roll (either distance, ages 5-17): $15
All participants will receive an electronic race bib to print at home. Participants who register by October 20 will also receive a race-branded drawstring backpack.
