International Race for Research

Now in its 24th year, the International Race for Research is a Progeria Research Foundation event held in Peabody, Massachusetts. The in-person 5K Run and 2-Mile Walk take place on city streets around Leather City Commons, with a virtual option for those who can’t attend. The course is described as a signature 5K run and 2-mile fun walk suitable for serious runners, casual participants, families, and teams.

The event is rain or shine and features awards, refreshments, and a festive atmosphere. It supports continued research toward curing progeria and related disorders. Dogs welcome (on leash) for the walks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
