The Waves of Gray – 5K Brain Cancer/Tumor Awareness Walk was created in memory of Fred K. Fenton II.

Fred lost his battle with brain cancer (glioblastoma) in November 2016. When he was sick, our family felt extremely helpless as caregivers often do. This walk is our way to unite the Jacksonville brain tumor community, bring awareness to this horrible disease & raise funds for brain cancer/tumor research.

Waves of Gray continues to support Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center. 100% of all funds raised will benefit the Waves of Gray Neuro-Oncology Endowment supporting research programs through Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center in Jacksonville, Florida.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you on May 09, 2026!

    Lace up and go purple for a cause that matters! The Purple Path 5K is a fun, inclusive run/walk dedicated to raising awareness and support for Epilepsy. Whether you are a seasoned runner, casual jogger, or walking with friends and family, this event welcomes all ages and abilities.

    The story behind this event

    My name is Brody Mace, and I am a junior at Nease High School, a Varsity Soccer player, and the President of the Epilepsy Awareness Club. When I was 12 years old, I was diagnosed with epilepsy. Since then, I have become deeply passionate about supporting others affected by this condition and raising awareness within my community. I have worked hard to ensure that epilepsy does not define me or limit what I can achieve.

    Inspired by my own experiences managing seizures while staying active, I am hosting a 5K run in Nocatee to raise awareness, promote safety and education, and bring our community together around compassion and understanding. This event will also encourage healthy lifestyles for people of all abilities. My hope is to turn a very real personal challenge into something positive—something that empowers others and sparks meaningful conversations about epilepsy.

    This 5K will be a fundraiser, and all proceeds will be donated to the Epilepsy Foundation to support education, advocacy, and families affected by epilepsy.

    Race is a chip timed event by Florida Race Day and will be awarding fastest runners by age and gender

Daytona 100 finishes at the historic Ponce Inlet Lighthouse at the southernmost point of the barrier island. The ocean views are quite spectacular and the route--and the weather--are conducive to fast PRs! 100-milers have 31 hours to complete the course; shorter distances have until noon on Sunday. (*50 milers and 50 kilometer runners start in Flagler Beach.)
