Join us for the 3rd Annual Race AgainsTNerve Pain event as we Hope, Fight, and RACE to cure facial pain!

Due to social distancing guidelines still in place related to COVID-19, this years run will be a VIRTUAL race.  The health and well-being of our participants is our main priority.  We are hoping to be back in person in Spring of 2022!

It is reported that 150,000 people are diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) every year.  Trigeminal Neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve which carries sensation from your face to your brain.  Trigeminal Neuralgia is described as the worst pain known to mankind and is often referred to as the suicide disease. TN is characterized by attacks of intense, stabbing pain that affects the mouth, cheek, nose or other areas on one side of the face. The pain can be excruciating and debilitating. While some people are fortunate enough to find some relief from medication, many resort to surgery to try and relieve pain which is often unsuccessful. It is our goal to raise awareness and money to help fund research to find a cure.
