2024 Cannonball Run

Join us as we come together as an HPP community to raise global awareness of hypophosphatasia.

The Cannonball 5K Run, Roll, or Stroll is an annual event run by Soft Bones that happens during the month of October. You can complete the 5K in a single day or pace yourself to hit your goal over the course of the month or choose to support an active participant. We hope you enjoy the challenge and encourage your friends and family to participate. Together we can make a difference in the lives of people living with HPP!
