Going the Distance for Brain Injury Run
Going the Distance for Brain Injury is a Memorial Day run organized by the Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City (BIAKS). The 2026 edition is scheduled for Memorial Day and includes in-person and virtual participation options.
The event features multiple distance options:
- 10K
- 5K
- 1.5 mile walk
- Fun4Kids event
- Virtual option
This year the run places particular focus on teams that honor or memorialize someone who has had or currently lives with a brain injury. The run traces its history to a first Memorial Day event held in 1988 that honored a young woman affected by brain injury.
BIAKS is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life for people affected by brain injury. The run is presented as part of the association’s activities to raise awareness and support for those affected by brain injury. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
