On the Move to Cure Ataxia

Lace up your running shoes for an inspiring day at the On the Move to Cure Ataxia event, returning to Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday, September 26, 2026. This impactful race offers participants the choice of a 10K, 5K, or a 1 Mile Fun Run, catering to all fitness levels. Setting off from the Winston Family YMCA at 221 Riverside Avenue, the course promises a scenic journey, with the 5K historically guiding runners along Jacksonville's picturesque Riverwalk, offering a generally flat and enjoyable urban experience. Typical race day conditions in late September in Jacksonville feature highs around 87F and lows around 74F, with a modest 14% chance of precipitation, making for warm, but potentially pleasant running weather as the morning progresses.

More than just a race, the On the Move to Cure Ataxia is a powerful fundraising event, marking its third annual occurrence in 2026. Every stride taken helps to raise crucial awareness and funds for Ataxia research and advocacy efforts, supporting the National Ataxia Foundation. Participants can expect professional timing services and a race packet with essential items. The atmosphere is one of community spirit, bringing together individuals, families, and friends united by a shared mission to find a cure. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with a post-race breakfast and hear from speakers who provide valuable insights and educational resources. Custom finisher medals are guaranteed for the first 100 in-person 5K runners registered by September 25th.

Join the movement and be part of this memorable event that truly makes a difference. Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the 10K or enjoying a leisurely stroll in the 1 Mile Fun Run, your participation contributes to a vital cause, fostering hope and progress in the fight against Ataxia.
