Haley's Heroes Foundation presents 7th Annual RUN FOR THE RARE, a 10k, 5k and 1 mile run/walk to support International Batten Disease Awareness Day.  Did you know that Rare is everywhere? Join us as we run on Sunday, June 14, 2026. 1 in 10 people have a rare disease and 50% of those are children. There are more than 7000 known rare diseases and an estimated 350 million people globally diagnosed with a rare disease. YET, 95% of all rare diseases don't have a FDA approved treatment or cure. Let's run (or walk) to change the course of the lives for all those with rare disease. Post pictures at #RUNWALKFORTHERARE!   The race will start and finish outside of the Pavilion in the North Meadow. Starting time is 10am and all participants should be finished by 1pm. Cost is $45 for adults and $35 for children. Registration fee includes a food coupon for snacks and ice cream. June 13 - Early packet pick up is 2pm-4pm at Gallagher's Fitness | 135 Commercial St NE, Salem, OR 97301Jun
