Amy Jeanne Thompson
Dustin CriscioneWind and rain couldn’t stop our participants, volunteers and spectators from coming out to another Amy Thompson Run for Brain Injury on Memorial Day! We had a great turnout of over 2,000 people many of whom weathered the storm that blew through as the 8K began. We are terribly saddened that we had to cancel the Walk for Thought and the Kiddie Dash this year but hope you and your teams join us again next year.
We had a record number of fundraising teams this year and appreciate your efforts!

In addition to our well known 8K event, which takes participants up Ward Parkway, we offer the popular 5K. We are also excited to bring back a 1 mile benefit Walk for Thought, which will take place beginning in the Loose Park Rose Garden area. We've had requests through recent years to include a shorter more manageable walk and we are looking forward to its return!

Loose Park is where it all takes place. The run includes an 8K, a 5K run/walk, and 1 mile untimed benefit Walk for thought, finishing out the day with the ever popular Kiddie Dash.
