Please join us on September 19, 2026 for X out ALD's Seventh-Annual Outrun ALD 5K. Outrun ALD will be held as a virtual event once again this year. Run, walk, bike or cheer wherever you are while helping raise awareness and funds to support the tireless efforts of the physicians and researchers at the University of Minnesota Leukodystrophy Center. 100% of funds raised from the 2026 virtual 5K will be donated to the University of Minnesota's Leukodystrophy Center for ALD research. Our goal is to provide critical funding to launch imperative ALD research projects. As one of the largest transplant centers in the world, the University of Minnesota is uniquely positioned to answer important questions about ALD. Without our support, this life-saving research might not otherwise make it to the lab. You have the option to register for the virtual 5K, donate to the cause, or both! You must register for the event in order to receive a t-shirt. The registration deadline for receiving a t-shirt is
