We are inviting walkers and runners from Las Vegas and beyond to come together for an inspiring virtual 5K or 1-mile walk to celebrate World Rare Disease Month!  

The 8th Annual Vegas Cares About Rare event is scheduled on February 10, 2024, to coincide with World Rare Disease Month, raising awareness to the millions of people affected by a rare disease.  During the entire month of February leading up to the event, we will be sharing stories and videos of these amazing children, their siblings and their families. We will be encouraging race participants to post their photos, experiences, and results on social media to spread awareness and happiness using #VegasRare5K.   All participants will receive our custom medal, racing bib and shirt.  (Download flyer)

Now, more than ever, our local kids affected by rare diseases need our help. This event has historically been our largest fundraising event each year.  Your participation in this event translates to much-needed funding to help us continue to provide medical and therapy equipment, educational scholarships, and family support.
