Supporting the Neurosurgery Foundation at Goodman Campbell

Brain Bolt 5K

A celebration of survivors, strength, and community

The annual Goodman Campbell Brain Bolt 5K honors and raises awareness of those affected by traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. Launched in 2015, this family-friendly fall event is the foundation’s largest fundraiser and welcomes hundreds of walkers, runners, and wheelchair racers to beautiful Carmel, IN, for a day of celebration and participation in either a 5K run/walk course or 1-mile survivor course.

Listening to a featured guest patient share their amazing survivor story is always a favorite highlight of this joyful day.

Event Features

BB5K Race Village — Brain Bolt 5K participants enjoy food and beverages, connect with survivor groups and organizations, and walk through our giant “MegaBrain” inside the race village. Free kid-friendly giveaways, games, and activities are available to entertain little ones.

BB5K Sponsor Village — The Brain Bolt 5K would not be possible without the financial and volunteer support of generous sponsors. Inside our sponsor village are many of the healthcare partners Goodman Campbell relies on to provide the most innovative, effective care to our patients.
