Wisconsin Brain Tumor Walk & Race
The Wisconsin Brain Tumor Walk & Race takes place on July 11, 2026 at Warner Park in Madison, Wisconsin. The event centers on a 5K (3.1 mi) Walk/Run that raises awareness and funds to support people with brain tumors and their families.
The program includes a remembrance ceremony, an opening ceremony that honors survivors and recognizes top individual and team fundraisers, and a kids fun run for participants under 12. Participants may register as timed runners or as walkers. Wheelchairs and strollers are welcome and pets on leashes are allowed. Organizers plan activities for children and a survivor photo as part of the opening activities.
Registration categories and fees listed for the event include adult walker, youth walker, adult timed runner, youth timed runner, volunteer, and a virtual participant option. Event shirts are included with registrations completed before June 1, 2026; virtual participants who raise at least $75 by June 1 will receive shirts by event day. The deadline to include a loved one’s name on the back of the event shirt is June 1, 2026.
The event began in 2013 as the Madison Brain Tumor 5K started by a local family. Over the last decade it has raised more than $428,000 and gathered thousands of participants. The event name now reflects statewide growth and broader support for the brain tumor community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
