5k for Celiac Disease Research

The Kicking 4 Celiac Foundation is extremely proud to announce its partnership with the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland for the very first “Making Tracks For Celiacs” 5k event on Long Island.

This year’s event will take place on June 10th, 2012, with registration beginning at 8am, and the race starting at 9am. The 5k will begin and end in Theodore Roosevelt Park, in Oyster Bay.

Participants can join as individuals, or join as teams, and each person will be able to follow their total amounts raised directly on the website. All participants will receive performance t-shirts the day of the event, timed running, as well as be treated to gluten free foods at the event, provided by various gluten-free food vendors. You may sign up as a participant, a volunteer, or a sponsor.

We greatly appreciate your support in our effort to increase awareness, develop effective treatments and possibly, one day, find a cure. Please spread the word, we hope to make the very first event a memorable one!
