The BRAIN Foundation Spectrum Run 2026
The 2026 BRAIN Foundation Spectrum Run was held at a stunning new venue—Almaden Lake Park in San Jose—which turned out to be a perfect choice. With its lakeside scenery, shaded paths, and excellent amenities, the setting offered an enjoyable experience for both runners and families.
Congratulations to all the competitive race winners! (full results will be available shortly)
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who participated, volunteered, sponsored, donated, or supported the event in any way. The strength and warmth of our community were truly on display, and we are especially grateful to our dedicated volunteers and generous sponsors who made the day possible. Please check out and support our wonderful sponsors (list below).
The attendance surpassed expectations, the weather could not have been better, and the atmosphere was filled with great food and even better company. Together, we raised essential funds for autism research, increased awareness, and strengthened a meaningful sense of connection. And once again, one of the most inspiring aspects of the day was seeing so many children and young adults with autism take part!
Event photos can be found below, and it’s been a joy hearing participants spot themselves and their friends in the images.
We look forward to welcoming many of you later this year at our SF Bay Area fundraising gala dinner and upcoming autism conference, and of course at next year’s Brain Spectrum Run. Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter for future date announcements.
