Head for the Cure 5K - San Francisco
The 11th Annual Head for the Cure 5K - San Francisco is a community event held at Crissy Field - West Bluffs. This event serves as a platform to raise awareness and funds for brain tumor research and support programs. The activities are centered around the Crissy Field area, with the course and parking located near Marine Drive in San Francisco.
The event offers two main athletic distances:
- 5 km run/walk
- 100 meter Kids Fun Run
The 5K course is designed for participants to run or walk in support of brain cancer patients, survivors, and their families. Participants can register as individuals or form teams to support the fundraising goals. The event includes specific moments of recognition, such as a photo for brain tumor survivors and various community awards.
Funds raised through this San Francisco event remain in the region to support local beneficiaries, specifically brain tumor research at the UCSF Brain Tumor Center. Contributions also support national brain cancer programs and initiatives through Path to Hope. The event honors various members of the community, including healthcare professionals, caregivers, and those who have personal experience with brain cancer through dedicated ceremonies like the Legacy of Love and Keeping the Faith recognitions.
