About Krabbe Disease:
Krabbe disease is a rare and devastating neurological disorder that affects children, robbing them of their abilities and often leading to a tragically short lifespan. But there's hope on the horizon, and you can be a part of it!
Your Participation Matters:
No matter where you live, you can join the fight against Krabbe disease. During this 10-day challenge, participants work toward completing 39 miles by walking, running, biking, or rolling their wheelchair—at their own pace and in their own community.
Inspired by the beauty of Minnesota's North Shore, this virtual journey symbolizes the path families affected by Krabbe disease travel every day.

Your miles will be automatically converted to run-art on a virtual map if you log using our app!
Some handy tips to get the most out of your virtual challenge:
- To ensure the route you run or walk appears on our map, download Racery’s iOS App or Android App.
- Open the Racery mobile app on your phone, enter your email address and use this passcode Racery just generated for you: {{ passcode }}.
- GPS sometimes cuts corners, so plan a route that avoids forests and hairpin turns to get full credit for your distance.
- If you prefer, you can manually log your distance, time and location, but your route won't appear on the communal map.
- Make sure all battery savers are off!
Every racer gets a personalized digital bib (above) and finish award.
Before the race starts, virtual racer avatars appear at their "home" location on our online map. Then on 9/4/26, the group's avatar starts to move along the route, with a new unique Google Street View every time you submit an activity.
Once you've registered, follow the instructions we'll email you. The location you choose at sign-up will be shown until you log an activity.
