BCM Community 5K and Well-Being Fair
The 15th Annual Baylor College of Medicine Well-Being 5K is presented by BCMstudents and BCM Well-Being as an in person or virtual event at Helix Park near the McNair/Jamail Campus in Houston, TX on October 10, 2026. The event supports student well being initiatives that have been active since 2012.
Proceeds fund the Grant for Leadership Opportunities in Well-Being (GLOW) awards, which provide students with funding for community health and internal projects. Recent GLOW-funded projects include Yoganatomy, a yoga series tied to anatomy coursework and clinical exam skills; the Emotional Roller Coaster Series, a set of five gatherings for peer discussion and resource sharing; and Longevity for Latinos, which offered blood glucose and blood pressure screenings in medically underserved Hispanic areas with faculty supervision.
Race operations note a McNair Campus start location near Butler Blvd. and Wyndale St., with parking at 7200 Cambridge St. Registration remains open through October 10, though the final day to register and receive a t-shirt is October 1. A virtual race app can use a participant phone GPS to track a race and upload a verified time automatically. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
