The 11th edition takes place on Saturday, October 3, 2026, in Carmel, Indiana, with the Carmel Gazebo at Civic Square serving as the event location and central gathering point.
The event program includes two course options:
- 5K traditional 5K course
- 1 mile survivor course to raise awareness for those affected by traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries
Event activities listed for the day include food and drink trucks, a featured patient presentation, recognition of survivors, an exhibit called the MegaBrain, face painting, corn hole, and vendor booths. Participation is available in person at the Carmel Gazebo or by supporting the event through monetary or in-kind donations.
