RACE for PHACE | phace-syndrome-comm

Join other community members for the 11th annual

Race for PHACE.

September 7-15, 2024

The Race for PHACE started in 2013 by families in Pittsburgh, PA and has raised over $130,000! We continue this fundraising event, and look forward to more families, across the country, hosting a walk or run.

Families across the country can organize teams of friends and family to walk or run. Past events have been races through a timed course, a walk through a park or neighborhood, or even individuals getting sponsors and running on their own! Hosting a virtual event, and asking friends and family from near and far to walk or run with you on a certain day, is another great way to host a Race for PHACE.

All the different ways an event is organized, creates awareness for PHACE syndrome while supporting the programs of the PHACE Syndrome Community.

The 11th Annual Race for PHACE Walk and Run

You can organize in your own neighborhood, set-up a live race, or encourage friends and family to participate through a virtual event...you can decide!

Set your course, your pace, and even your distance.

Participate alone, or ask your family and friends to join you in person or virtually.

What is a virtual race and walk?

Rather than meeting in a physical location, with other event participants, a virtual race or walk is an event where you participate in your location while friends and family are at their remote locations.

When is the Race for PHACE held?

The Race for PHACE will be held during the week of September 7-15, 2024. We encourage you to host your Race for PHACE event during the designated week, or plan your event during a time that works best for you and your family and friends.
