Dress like a Viking and help Conquer Myasthenia Gravis! Put on your warrior helmet and join us for the 6th Annual Strides Against MG Run/Walk. You can give hope to those struggling with this rare autoimmune disease called “MG.” New for 2018:- A Viking theme! Bring your Viking accessories, team signs, and poses!
- An untimed 5K Fun Run has been added for fitness warriors.
- Online registration is closed as of June 1, 5pm. But that’ ok, you still can register the morning of the walk.
- Fundraising – asking your friends and family to support your cause – has a new look this year, too. Click the Donate Now button to check out our fundraising campaign on www.crowdrise.co (NOTE: If you set up a fundraising page, be sure to select our legal name, the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Illinois.)
The 5K Fun Run will be followed by the Kids’ Dash and Viking stroll (one, two, or three miles) around Berens Park. The family-friendly event includes kid prizes, bubbles and bags, and plenty of Viking snacks.
You also can tend the hearth (at the tent), and enjoy live music by Peter Jens.
Register early to ensure your spot (and your t-shirt!).
