Event summary
Join the ACPA Awareness Month Challenge this summer and fall to make a difference for children born with cleft and craniofacial differences! Kicking off on July 1, 2025, in Chapel Hill, Orange, this exciting event runs through December 31, 2025, during National Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness Month. Participants can choose between two inspiring virtual race options: the ACPA Awareness Month 60 Mile Challenge, where you can walk or run 60 miles throughout July, and the ambitious 700 Mile Challenge, which allows you six months to complete the distance.
The 700 Mile Challenge will take you on a virtual journey across key locations, starting in St. Louis, MO, and visiting six ACPA Approved Teams along the way, ending in Morgantown, WV. You’ll be able to track your progress on a live map, adding a fun element as you compete with fellow racers. Sign up by July 15 to receive a race t-shirt and help raise critical funds for ACPA programs that support patients and families affected by these conditions. Together, we can spread awareness and make a lasting impact!
