Racing to End Lupus | Lone Star
Run, walk, bike, or swim and make your miles matter in the fight to end lupus.
Be a part of the Lupus Foundation of America’s endurance program, Racing to End Lupus™ (formerly Team Make Your Mark). Take on the iconic 2026 TCS New York City Marathon, join our inaugural team at the 2026 Philadelphia Marathon Weekend, make history with LFA at the 2027 Double TCS London Marathon, or choose your own race. You Choose the Distance. You Choose the Location. You Choose How to Make Your Miles Matter.
Make Your Miles Matter
Whether you take on a marathon, half marathon, 5K–10K, ultra, bike race, or triathlon, you can make your miles matter in the fight to end lupus.
Racing to End Lupus™ gives athletes of all levels the opportunity to combine their endurance goals with fundraising to support lupus research and education programs. As part of the program, you’ll have access to professional coaching, team gear, fundraising support, and a community cheering you on along the way.
Why should I join?
The one thing we hear from Racing to End Lupus athletes again and again is that their experience was one of the most meaningful of their lives - from the training and fundraising to the incredible support, community, and race-day experience.
Whatever your distance, your miles are about more than crossing a finish line. They are about coming together as a community, raising awareness, and giving a voice to the millions of people living with lupus.
