Brain Bolt 5K Run/Walk

Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine (GCBS) is proud to announce our Fifth Annual Brain Bolt 5K Run/Walk. This year’s race will once again benefit the treatment and care of traumatic brain and spine injuries through The Neurosurgery Foundation at Goodman Campbell.

The Brain Bolt 5K will be held on Saturday, October 5 at 10:00 a.m. at the Carmel Gazebo at Civic Square in Carmel. It is a family-friendly 5K that will take on a festival atmosphere featuring musical entertainment, food trucks, and activities for kids on the gazebo’s grass lawn. Regional trauma specialists will educate attendees on preventing head and spine injuries, and GCBS’ MEGA Brain—an inflatable, interactive, walk-through exhibit—will also be on display.

We anticipate more than 500 race participants—many of whom are survivors of brain and spine injuries—in hopes of surpassing our 2018 fundraising totals of more than $117,000.

“We are excited to continue the tradition of the Brain Bolt 5K and look forward to a fun, family event to support Hoosiers across our state who suffer unimaginable injuries of the head and spine,” said Derek Cantrell, Executive Director of Finance and Administration for GCBS.

All proceeds of the Brain Bolt 5K will support the efforts of the Neurosurgery Foundation at Goodman Campbell to help fund pilot research projects in traumatic brain and spine injury, a follow-up clinic for patients for after-injury care, and GCBS’ neurotrauma databases.
