About this race

Updated Information:

Our event is less than a week away! Thank you to those who have signed up or donated so far.

Here are a few event-day reminders:

Check-in will begin at 8:15am, and we will be set up by the playground. (A map of the course will be attached here soon, sent out in an email, and we will have physical copies day of)

We will have t-shirts, wristbands, and bib numbers for our participants.

We will be raffling out 2 $25 Bryn Mawr Running Co. gift cards and 2 CHOP water bottles at the end!

We are treating this event as a fun/PR run/walk! We will be posting the times within a few days after the event. 

Since this event is halloween-themed, we will have candy stations set up all around the course, and costumes are also encouraged!

Water and pretzels will be available to help keep everyone hydrated and fueled throughout the event!

A huge thank-you to Wawa for providing water and pretzels for our participants, and to Bryn Mawr Running Co. for their generous support and gift card donations! 

Thank you all for your support. Keep telling your friends and family to sign up, and we hope to see you all there!

Run4Brains is a Halloween-themed 5K run and 2K walk benefiting the Neuroscience Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Join us at West Goshen Community Park on Saturday, October 24 for a morning of running, walking, costumes, and community; all in support of pediatric neuroscience research!

Runners and walkers of all levels are welcome. Bring your friends and family to run, walk, or just to come in support. 

Registration is $30, and don't forget to donate to the cause if you can't attend! All net profit will be donated to the Neuroscience Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
