Miles for Migraine - Illinois

Miles for Migraine - Illinois is an annual event held at Diversey Harbor in Chicago, featuring a 2-mile walk and a 5K run to raise awareness and funds for migraine and headache research and treatment. The 5K run is chip-timed, and all finishers receive medals. Participants are encouraged to dress in purple for a chance to win prizes.

The event also offers a relaxing festival atmosphere with speakers, sponsor booths, and onsite activities like yoga and meditation. Funds support local programs, including the Seymour Diamond Fellowship in Headache Medicine at RUSH. Packet pickup is available before the event, and donations are matched up to $5,000.
