RAMMS 2025
Our eighth anniversary event will be at the Grand Rapids Marathon, Relay, Half, 10K and 5K in Michigan. The best part of this event, besides getting together with the nicest and most supportive people on the planet, is that there is no time limit for any of the distances. The race director only asks that you keep trying and not stop at a pub in the middle of the run/walk to watch the Lions game! The Grand Rapids Marathon organization is very accommodating and it is the perfect event to test your body by running or walking a longer distance. And of course, your RAMMS teammates will be at the finish line to celebrate with you!
If you cannot come to Grand Rapids, then join our Worldwide Team. Our dynamic teammates participate by doing their favorite sport, exercise or activity from their home city. It is because of this special group that we have the global reach to impact MS communities around the world.
