Participate in a personal endurance event in your community

If you are not able to participate in one of our official charity partnership events, you may still join our Stroke Challenge team. Individuals are encouraged to participate in an endurance event of their choice while raising funds and stroke awareness in their communities.

There are hundreds of races every year that you can join. Whatever the distance or activity, National Stroke Association encourages your participation! Getting active for stroke not only raises awareness and funds but also reduces your own risk for stroke.

Get Started!

If you are planning to participate in an event and want to raise money and awareness for stroke, join our Stroke Challenge team.
