Formerly known as the Brain Health to Beat Stroke, this event is a fang-tastic 5K, 10K, and 1K that raises funds and awareness for strokes. Don't let your loved ones become zombies—join us for a monstrously good time!
Why Participate?
Healings in Motion provides local educational programs and services supporting brain health, stroke awareness, and prevention. Your participation and donations will increase stroke awareness in our community, help reduce the number of strokes, and directly support those with stroke recovery. It's a grave cause we're passionate about! For more information, visit https://strokewoke.com/
The Courses
5K - A Closed Course (No Ghouls Allowed!)
All runners will start on In Shumway Oak Grove Park near the Oaks Pavillion area. We'll head South toward the nature trail, then make our way back to the finish line where you'll be greeted by a ghoulishly good time! Expect themed music, trick-or-treating, thriller dance competitions, and tons of great goodies from the community. It's going to be un-boo-lievable!
5K Virtual - Run, Walk, or Roll Your Way!
Participate where you want, when you want between October 30th–November 1st! Send us a screenshot of your path from Strava, Nike Run Club, Garmin, or any other fitness tracker via Instagram or email us at brainhealth5K@gmail.com. While your results won't appear with our in-person participants, we'd love to see your spooky selfies and post them on our socials. No coffin required!
1-Mile Survivor Champion Walk or Roll
We'll make our way around the North side of Lincoln Center! For stroke survivors and others recovering from a brain injury, this is your chance to participate at any level of ability. We all know someone affected by stroke—honor them by joining us or donating in their honor. Because when it comes to supporting survivors, we don't ghost anyone!
