Participate in the Inaugural Head for the Cure 5K – Philadelphia, raising funds, awareness, and hope for the Philadelphia brain tumor community!
Funds raised through this event will locally benefit brain tumor research at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Jefferson Health, Penn Medicine, Global Neurosciences Institute, Temple Health, Cooper University Health Care, Brains for the Cure, and other national brain cancer programs, education, and initiatives.
Enjoy a day full of excitement with a Kids Fun Run, Kids Zone entertainment, local vendors, complimentary coffee and snacks, and more! Stick around after the race for awards and a special ceremony to celebrate survivors, top finishers, and the impact we’ve made together.
