Miles for Migraine - New York City 2026

Purple flair and finisher medals are part of the annual fall Miles for Migraine - New York City event. This timed 5K and 2-mile walk is organized by the Miles for Migraine nonprofit. It serves as a New York City walk/run for migraine and headache awareness, functioning as a fundraiser for treatment, research, patient support, and specialist training. The event has taken place in major city parks such as Flushing Meadows and Randall's Island Park. The day includes a professionally timed 5K, an untimed walk, and a festival area with speakers and sponsors. Funds raised support local headache centers and training programs, including those at Montefiore, Mt. Sinai, and a headache fellowship program at Weill Cornell.
