5K Run/Walk & Community Events

Our run/walk events are a great way to support the fight against brain cancer.

The first Head for the Cure 5K was held in Kansas City in 2003. Since then, more than 250,000 people have joined our efforts to defeat brain cancer step by step! We have also recognized more than 700 survivors and caregivers. Together we have raised $25 million in our fight against brain cancer!

Whether you’re a casual walker, a competitive runner, or simply want to support brain cancer research and programs through our variety of events, a Head for the Cure event is something you don’t want to miss. Find an event near you!
