The 5K Run/Funwalk for Epilepsy Awareness takes place in Buffalo, New York, offering participants a choice between a timed 5K run and a Fun Walk. Registration begins in the morning, with both the run and walk commencing at 10:00 AM.

Funds raised will benefit the Epilepsy Association of WNY’s outreach, awareness, and education initiatives, aimed at assisting individuals with epilepsy in leading more independent, productive, and fulfilling lives.
