Brains Together 2-Mile Walk and 5K Run - 20th Annual
The 20th Annual Brains Together event takes place October 3, 2026 in Rochester, Minnesota at the Rochester Regional Sports Center. It brings together brain tumor patients, survivors, caregivers, families, friends, and supporters for activities, community connection, and a program recognizing the event anniversary.
Event distances include:
- 2-Mile Walk
- 5K chip timed run
The walk and run routes are held outdoors. Other event activities are held indoors at the sports center.
Planned activities and features include a silent auction, balloon art, bounce house, face painting, merchandise, refreshments, and a presentation marking the 20th anniversary. The event offers opportunities to honor loved ones affected by brain tumors; tributes submitted by September 15, 2026 will be displayed on the event wall.
Proceeds from the event support brain tumor research at Mayo Clinic. Everyone attending is asked to register, even if they do not plan to participate in the walk or run, so organizers can prepare activities, refreshments, and event materials.
