Run Rare 5k 2027

Run Rare 5k offers two participation options: the in-person Run Rare 5k and the Run Rare: Virtual Rarety 5K. Check-in begins at 9:30 AM, with the race commencing at 10:00 AM. This event welcomes participants of all ages and prioritizes rare-disease awareness over competitive finish times. Rarety, the nonprofit organizing the race, was established by Taylor, a student who has lived with a rare disease for years. Her personal medical history, which includes a week of study at the National Institute of Health, shapes the event's focus. The race serves to honor rare warriors whose experiences are often overlooked, particularly young individuals managing rare conditions.
