Recognized each year on October 13, World Thrombosis Day (WTD) is a global effort sponsored and organized by the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) to help increase awareness about thrombosis or life-threatening blood clots, including blood clots in the leg (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) and blood clots in the lung (pulmonary embolism or PE) by sharing important information about blood clot risk factors, signs, symptoms, prevention, and treatment, and by engaging medical partners, individuals, organizations, and communities around the globe.
The National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA) is pleased to be an ongoing partner in this effort, and we encourage you to get involved too. Join us for the Virtual 5K Run/Walk to Stop the Clot® taking place October 13-18. Virtually run, walk, jog or even cycle in support of the National Blood Clot Alliance Sports and Wellness Institute. Participate from any location at any ability level. You get to run your own race, at your own pace and time it yourself. Registration is $20 and includes an official race bib and certificate.
