BRAIN 5k 10k Run & 1 Mile Walk 2025

We are thrilled to share that the 2025 Brain Foundation Run/Walk Fundraiser, now in its second year, was an incredible success with even more participants than last year!

Congratulations to all the winners (you can check the race results here) and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined, volunteered, sponsored, donated, or contributed in any way to make this event truly unforgettable. Our wonderful and supportive community shone brightly, and we are immensely grateful for our fantastic volunteers and sponsors who helped make it all possible.

The turnout surpassed our expectations, the weather and location were ideal, and the food and company were simply perfect! We raised vital funds for autism research, increased awareness, and, most importantly, fostered a powerful sense of community spirit.

It was especially inspiring to see so many children and young adults with autism take part, with many even completing the entire race—an absolute highlight of the day!
