Join us for the sixth annual Hustle for Hope 5K and be part of a movement that is changing lives around the world. Every step, stride, and roll supports Hope for HIE, a global nonprofit patient advocacy and support organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for children and families affected by neonatal and pediatric Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy. Through awareness, advocacy, education, research, and direct support, Hope for HIE is building a stronger future for our community. Click here to learn more about Hope for HIE.

We are offering two ways to Hustle again this year: join us virtually from wherever you are, or take part in one of our in-person events hosted by a community volunteer. By providing multiple formats, we ensure our global community can participate in a way that is flexible, accessible, and inclusive. Choose a date, time, and location that works for you and complete your 5K indoors or outdoors by walking, running, or rolling — or gather with others at a hosted event and feel the power of community in action.

However you choose to Hustle, know that you are fueling hope, advancing research, and standing alongside families who need it most.
