"People Like You Make A Difference!"
RUN FOR A REASON!
Every mile "Makes A Difference"... Every step you take brings us one step closer in our mission to finding a cure!
Raise money for Glut1 DS & Glucose Transporter research which impacts other diseases such as epilepsy, diabetes and cancers! 100% of ALL donations you raise will directly fund research studies, education and awareness projects.
RSG1 is comprised of an elite group of esteemed medical, legal and business professionals who have dedicated their time, expertise, and energies toward creating a network of support and hope. All of our board members, associates and affiliates volunteer 100% of their time and energies to our mission! RSG1 has no paid staff or employees! We need your support to!
New in 2012, we are offering a Virtual Runner & Walker Program! It has never been more exciting or easier to help "Make A Difference" in spreading awareness, creating education and funding research for rare disease. Virtual Runners & Walkers will receive a fundraising page and have access to the same tools as event participants, to increase their chances of becoming Top Fundraisers. Virtual Runners & Walkers will also be eligible for the same contests, prizes and gifts as our other event participants.
The common thread that our runners and walkers share with Glut1 DS patients, will be fighting and facing a challenge. Together we can change and save lives!

Due to a number of walkers that did not adhere to the posted walker rules, there will NOT be a separate “walker start time.” · Marathon walkers must adhere to a 13:42 per mile pace with a 6-hour limit. · Half Marathon walkers must adhere to a 4-hour limit. Due to the course restrictions, walkers who do not reach the final checkpoint of the Half Marathon will be required to board the sweep vehicle. ·
