What to expect

Written from race data

The No Sto Defeats MSA 5K and Fitness Walk, also known as the Defeat MSA Fitness Walk, is scheduled for September 21, 2024, in North Stonington, CT (06359). This event, classified as an "Event Type 6," is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) research. While specific historical details of this particular iteration are not provided, these events are typically held annually and have grown in popularity as a community-driven effort to combat MSA. Participants can anticipate a family-friendly atmosphere suitable for runners and walkers of all fitness levels. The 5K race offers a timed opportunity for competitive runners, while the fitness walk provides a more relaxed pace for those who wish to enjoy the scenery and support the cause. The typical terrain for such events in a New England setting like North Stonington often includes paved roads and potentially some gently rolling hills, offering a scenic but manageable course. Participants should be prepared for potential early autumn weather conditions, which can vary from cool to mild. A notable feature of this race is its direct connection to the Defeat MSA organization, ensuring that all proceeds contribute significantly to their mission of finding a cure for MSA.
