Make Your Miles Matter To Help End Lupus
Whether you take on a marathon, half marathon, 5K-10K, ultra, bike race or triathlon, you can make miles matter in the fight to end lupus. Lupus Foundation of America’s endurance program, Racing to End Lupus™ is a way for novice or experienced athletes to combine running, cycling or triathlon events with fundraising to support lupus research and education programs. By joining the Racing to End Lupus program, you gain access to professional coaching, team gear, and everything you need to cross the finish line-- in-person or virtually.
Whatever your distance, your miles are about so much more. They are about coming together as a community and giving a voice to the millions who suffer from the brutal impact of this disease. You can help us put an end to lupus.
Why should I join?
Whether you have experience with endurance events or are looking to start and push yourself to something greater, you can combine this with helping those with lupus.
The one thing that we hear from our participants is how rewarding Racing to End Lupus is. From the support and encouragement to the coaching and community, Racing to End Lupus is a way to take an event you're already participating in or a goal you've been striving to achieve and turn it into something biggerv- something personal, charitable and greater than yourself.
Below you will find different options, both virtual and in-person events, for Racing to End Lupus.
