Description

Fight the Flame 5k is an official timed race with an additional 1k Family Stroll & Roll.

This is an annual race established to raise money and awareness for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic, debilitating, neuro-inflammatory disease. The main syndrome of CRPS is severe, burning, stabbing pain 24/7 along with extreme sensitivity to touch, swelling, changes in skin temperature and appearance, limited range of motion, and many other symptoms as well.

We have people affected with CRPS and their families from 7-12 states that attend the event.

There is a race village where sponsors can display, give out information and such about their products.

At the event, there is a raffle at the event to bring in additional funds.
