Miles for Impact GHI Virtual 5k

Your Race. Your Pace. Their Access to Care.

Join Global Health ImPAct this November for the 2026 Miles for ImPAct Virtual 5K and be part of a movement dedicated to expanding healthcare access in rural communities across the United States and around the world.

This is more than a race—it's an opportunity to create meaningful change.

Every registration helps connect healthcare students and professionals with underserved communities, where distance, limited resources, and healthcare workforce shortages can create barriers to care. Together, we can help strengthen rural healthcare and support the next generation of providers serving where they are needed most.

The best part? You can complete your 5K anywhere, anytime during race weekend.
Run your favorite park trail, walk your neighborhood, hop on a treadmill, gather your classmates, challenge your coworkers, or make it a family event. Whether you run, walk, jog, or roll, every mile helps make a difference.
