Brains Together 2-Mile Walk and 5K Run
The 20th Annual Brains Together event in Rochester, Minnesota brings together brain tumor patients, survivors, caregivers, families, friends, and supporters for a morning of community activities. The event includes a short program following the walk and run and offers a range of family-oriented attractions such as balloon art, inflatables, face painting, refreshments, merchandise, and a 20th Anniversary presentation. Walk and run routes take place outdoors while most event activities are held inside the Rochester Regional Sports Center.
Event distances:
- 2-Mile Walk
- 5K Chip-Timed Run
Proceeds from the event support brain tumor research at Mayo Clinic. Organizers ask that all attendees register, even if they do not plan to participate in the walk or run, to help with planning for activities, refreshments, and event materials. Submitted tributes honoring survivors, people currently facing a brain tumor diagnosis, or loved ones who have passed will be displayed on the event wall when submitted by September 15, 2026. A silent auction is held as part of the event to raise additional funds for research. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
