TEAM RARE 26.2

This fall, Team RARE 26.2 is bringing the rare disease community together through a virtual endurance opportunity with one rule: Do It Your Way. Proudly supported by Rocket Pharma and built around connection, inclusion, and shared purpose, Team RARE 26.2 brings our community together in support of individuals and families impacted by rare diseases.

From October 12 through November 13, we invite you to complete 26.2 miles in whatever way works for you. Run, walk, bike, hike, dance, roll, or find your own way to move. Complete all 26.2 miles in one day, spread them across a week, or take the full month, on your own or alongside family, friends, or coworkers. There is no wrong way to participate. 

26.2 miles can look different for everyone. There is no required pace and no single way to complete the distance. What matters is coming together and moving with purpose. However you participate, every mile represents the determination and forward movement of the rare disease community and helps raise awareness for the work still ahead.

Participation is free. Fundraising is not required and is highly encouraged as a meaningful way to extend the impact of your participation. For those who choose to fundraise, every dollar raised supports the RARE Foundation’s work to advance policies, improve access, build robust evidence, and drive meaningful progress for people living with rare diseases.

Whether you complete the miles yourself, invite others to move alongside you, fundraise, share your story, or support another participant, you are part of Team RARE and a community moving together toward what’s possible.

26.2 miles. Your pace. Your way. One community moving together.
