Vermont Pandas & Pans Awareness 5k Run/walk
Join us on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in Burlington, Chittenden, for the Third Annual Vermont PANDAS & PANS Awareness 5K Run/Walk, a family-friendly event dedicated to raising awareness and support for Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections (PANDAS). This inclusive 5K event welcomes participants of all ages and skill levels to enjoy a scenic course, live DJ music, delicious snacks, commemorative t-shirts, medals, and exciting prizes, all while contributing to a meaningful cause. Proceeds will benefit the Neuroimmune Psychiatric Disorder clinic at Dartmouth Hospital, supporting vital research, education, and resources for families affected by these often-overlooked autoimmune disorders. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a positive impact in the community and promote awareness of PANS and PANDAS while enjoying a fun-filled day outdoors.
