Run for ALD, Cure the Boys 2026

Join Knockout ALD for the 10th Anniversary Run for ALD on Saturday, November 21st, 2026, starting at 9:00 AM. This event, the only one of its kind in the St. Louis area dedicated to raising awareness and funds for adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), will be held at Creve Coeur Park near St. Louis, MO. A virtual participation option is available for those anywhere in the world. Registration by October 21st includes a free event t-shirt for both in-person and virtual participants. Teams can be formed to raise awareness and funds. ALD is a rare genetic disease affecting approximately 1 in 17,000 boys, potentially leading to severe neurological symptoms and death if not diagnosed and treated early. The event is inspired by a son who received a successful bone marrow transplant to stop the progression of his cerebral ALD. One hundred percent of funds raised will be donated to the University of Minnesota Leukodystrophy Center for ALD Research, supporting early identification, therapies, treatment options, and a cure.
