On behalf of the Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City ( biaks.org ) we thank all the supporters through the years as participants, sponsors, volunteers, spectators, as well as the Byron Thompson Family. We simply could not have a successful event without you! Your support contributes to providing vital programs through the Brain Injury Association to brain injury survivors, their loved ones and the general community.

NEW IN 2012! In addition to our well known 8K event, which takes participants up Ward Parkway, we are replacing the 2 mile event with a more popular 5K. We are also excited to introduce 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 Inauguration! More details to come...

Bringing back... DISCOUNTS! We received a wonderful response to our Military and Youth Discounts. We are continuing these $5 discounts in 2012. Register here. Click Here.

Memorial Day May 28, 2012 marks the 25th anniversary of the Amy Thompson Run for Brain Injury. The scenic run is one of the oldest premier family runs through some of Kansas City’s most beautiful neighborhoods. The run was started in 1988 by friends of Amy Thompson, to honor her memory.

Proceeds from the Amy Thompson Run for Brain Injury benefit the Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City ( www.biaks.org ). They in turn, provide vital programs offering resources, support and education for survivors, loved ones and professionals in our community. Since its inception the run has raised more than $2 million to help all people with brain injury and the professionals who treat them.

Loose Park is where it all takes place. The run includes an 8K, a 5K run/walk ,a NEW 1 mile untimed benefit Walk for thought, and the ever popular Kiddie Dash. The 8K and 5 K Courses are certified and chip timed. Enjoy, music, food and drink as you participate in a run that remains a Kansas City Memorial Day tradition.

So register early and we look forward to seeing you and your family Memorial Day at Loose Park!
