Haley's Heroes Foundation presents 7th Annual RUN FOR THE RARE, a 10k, 5k and 1 mile run/walk to support International Batten Disease Awareness Day. Did you know that Rare is everywhere? Join us as we run on Sunday, June 14, 2026. 1 in 10 people have a rare disease and 50% of those are children. There are more than 7000 known rare diseases and an estimated 350 million people globally diagnosed with a rare disease. YET, 95% of all rare diseases don't have a FDA approved treatment or cure. Let's run (or walk) to change the course of the lives for all those with rare disease. Post pictures at #RUNWALKFORTHERARE!

The race will start and finish outside of the Pavilion in the North Meadow. STARTING TIME IS 10AM AND ALL PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BE FINISHED BY 1PM.

Cost is $45 for adults and $35 for children and includes the t-shirt.

Registration fee includes a T-shirt, coupon for wings and fries, coupon for ice cream and a Photo Booth.
