Join us for the inaugural Platypus Run on Saturday, May 16, 2026 at 8:30 AM in Los Poblanos Open Space in Albuquerque, NM, where you can participate in a family-friendly 5K run or 1K walk while supporting the Pericarditis Alliance's mission to raise funds and awareness for this often-misdiagnosed heart condition affecting roughly 100,000 Americans each year. Can't make it in person? You're welcome to join the Virtual Walk Your Best Friend event simultaneously by walking any distance with a canine or human companion—perfect since pericarditis patients benefit from low-intensity exercise like walking with friends. Every participant gets a Platypus Run bandana, and you'll have the chance to purchase a race T-shirt to further support this important cause.
