    Strain for the Brain is an annual event held to honor individuals diagnosed with a brain tumor and to

The funds raised through Strain for the Brain will directly contribute to advancements in research, medical treatments, and support programs for individuals and families impacted by this life-changing condition. By participating in Strain for the Brain, you will not only contribute to the fight against brain tumors but also showcase your dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of those affected by this disease.

    Persons with any financial limitations please contact organizers to discuss a Fee Waiver.

    History of Strain for the Brain

    Mike is a brain tumor survivor who started Strain for the brain in 2010 to raise awareness of this rare disease. The event started small along the lakefront at Veterans Park, originally in May which is brain tumor awareness month. After one particularly chilly event of sleet and snow flurries, it moved to the first weekend of June at Miller Park (currently American Family Stadium) and then to Harley Davidson Museum. Ultimately, the event outgrew that space and has returned to Veterans Park. While Mike had many people help him along the way, it was his persistence and determination to support the cause that kept the event going year after year. Due to the growth of the event, Mike has turned the operations over to Dr. Jennifer Connelly but still is an active participant.

  • Buena Tierra Run Club Group 8.1 km
    [buenatierramke.com] [runningcrews.com] - Facebook - Instagram

    Founded in Milwaukee in late 2023, Buena Tierra Run Club has rapidly grown from a small group of seven to a vibrant community. Inspired by Patrick’s experience running through Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, the group was formed to create a Latino-centered space in Milwaukee’s Southside where running encourages physical and mental well-being. Meeting weekly, their runs connect participants to local streets and landmarks that celebrate Latino heritage and Milwaukee’s diverse urban landscape. Open to everyone but focused on Latino identity, Buena Tierra promotes inclusive, laid-back runs that foster camaraderie and support beyond just the pavement.
