It’s Brain Injury Awareness Month

Help Promote Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Research by getting active

Get up and get dressed in your race day gear and hit the treadmill, streets or trails for the 2nd Annual Neurotrauma 5K (3.1 miles) Fun Run/Walk in support of the National Neurotrauma Society’s (NNS) education, advocacy and research initiatives.

Register as an individual, join a team or create your own team! You can even register your family and friends- what a great activity to do together during Brain Injury Awareness Month!

Don’t fret if you are not interested in burning calories. We also offer a “Good Intentions” option for those who wish to support the Society without lacing up – just sign up, sit back and relax!
