Keep Punching 5K, 1 Mile, and Virtual Event

The Keep Punching event is an annual athletic gathering held in Towson, Maryland. The 13th edition of this event takes place at the Johnny Unitas Stadium on the Towson University campus. The primary goal of the event is to support patients, healthcare providers, and researchers in the effort to prevent and eradicate brain cancer. All proceeds are directed to Keep Punching, which is a volunteer-based organization.

Participants have several options for involvement, including physical races held on-site and virtual components that can be completed from any location. The available distances and formats include:

  • 5K running race
  • 1 Mile walking event
  • Virtual 5K race
  • Virtual 1 Mile race

The on-site activities are centered around the university stadium infrastructure. The virtual options allow individuals who cannot be present in Towson to participate in the collective effort against brain cancer. Registration for all event categories typically opens in January.
