Dear Mild Sprain Family,

Hi Trail Runners and JDRF supporters.  We hope everyone is having a great year and ready to hit the trails running this spring.  Unfortunately, the Mild Sprain will be taking a break in 2024.

Since 2012, A Mild Sprain has brought together hundreds of runners and hikers to support JDRF in harnessing the power of research, advocacy, and community engagement to advance life-changing breakthroughs for type 1 diabetes (T1D). We have collectively raised over $[1] million and raised awareness for T1D while bringing the community together for technical and challenging trail racing.  It is your involvement and support that has made this event so special, and we thank you for all your support over the years from the bottom of our hearts.  We could not be prouder of what we have accomplished together.  It is our privilege to partner with you and with JDRF and look forward to continuing efforts to support the organization and the running community.

While A Mild Sprain is taking a break this year, there are many ways to stay actively involved both with JDRF and the trail run experience:

JDRF:  

• Get active and involved in JDRF chapter events and activities including Ride; Walk; Spring Social: http://www.jdrf.org/gnymc/

Trail Running:

1. The Trail Mix series has added a couple of new spring trail runs this year that should continue to keep all running, challenged, and in shape.  Click this link to access the 2024 schedule: https://trailmixseries.org/

Please make sure to keep an eye out for further updates from A Mild Sprain. We will be back with trails, t-shirts, festivities, and more in the near future.
