2026 Napa Race for a Cure 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk

The National MPS Society will host a timed 5K run and 1 mile walk, beginning at 10:30 AM on Sunday, April 26.  The 1 mile walk will begin at 10:40 AM.  Packet pickup and day of registration will open at 8:30 AM.  A picnic for attendees and volunteers will be held after the race!

This event is open to individuals of all ages and abilities. Once you register, either as an individual or as part of a team, you are set. We would love to see the posts of pictures participants on their 5K route. This is completely optional – but since our goal is to bring awareness to MPS and ML, we want to do just that. And by using #MPSAwareness on your social media posts, we will be able to keep up with the fun.

It is just like any other 5K, except there is no official race location.  You get to choose where, with whom, and even how you want to complete the 5K.  by participating virtually, you can run the 5K at any time leading up to April 26th.  It can even be done in increments, keep track of your distance until you hit the 5K!
