Medical Heroes Appreciation 5K Run & Walk

Our 5K Run & Walk is an annual fitness event that honors individuals that participate in clinical research to advance medicine for everyone. Ran in conjunction with DIA 2024, we are excited to be hosting this year’s event in San Diego for 2024! Your participation and contribution helps support our mission to provide clinical trial information, insights on public perceptions, and plain language resources, making clinical trial participation accessible for all.

Early Bird Registration until May 15th! Tickets: $30
