Everyone’s game face looks a little different 💙

For some, it’s showing up in honor of a loved one. For others, it’s walking beside family, celebrating survivorship, or standing with the brain tumor community in support.

However you show up, we invite you to join us for the 2026 Michigan BT5K for a meaningful morning of connection, remembrance, and hope.
