NCA has made the decision to cancel our IN-PERSON National Celiac 5k due to COVID-19.

HOWEVER, May is Celiac Awareness Month and the VIRTUAL RUN/WALK WILL GO ON AS PLANNED! We are not promoting gathering with others for a walk or run at this time, however, would like to encourage individual engagement and social media participation on May 30th!

For more details and to continue supporting the mission of NCA, please consider signing up to be a virtual runner below. We apologize for the inconvenience with this decision, but we want to make sure we keep everyone safe and healthy.
