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

  celebrate the family and friends there to support them. Brain tumors are a devastating disease that affects 80,000 people and their families each year. 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.

  THE END IS NEAR!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! Well, the Running Season end is near anyway, not so sure about the apocalypse just yet. Lets celebrate an awesome 2026 running season with your favorite season ending event.

  Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun!!

  The Lakefront Discovery Run features fun, with a 15k, a 5k, and a FREE Kids run!. Each distance can be run, walked, skipped, or hopped. There are age group awards as well as for overall winners. More importantly, there will be an award for ‘Best Costume’ as voted on by the event volunteers (please don’t attempt to bribe the volunteers. Bribe the Race Director, because at the end of the day, it's their call). Those in Costume get FREE BEER!! Also should be noted, those NOT IN Costume get free beer too (but no ALL CAPS announcement for them, damnit).

  The run begins at Veteran's Park and provides a delightful tour of Milwaukee’s lakefront. Candy laden aid stations line the course to fuel your run and satisfy your sweet tooth, and MONSTER MILE Markers along the way. Each runner/volunteer receives an event t-shirt (Runners who register after Oct 18th ARE NOT guaranteed a shirt), traditional post-race snacks, spooky music (what does that even mean?), and enough candy to make a dentist cringe! We ordered great weather, but just in case, we'll have a heated tent for the post race shenanigans. Come out and celebrate a successful season of running!

  A winter tradition returns as the Milwaukee County Zoo commemorates the annual Samson Stomp.

  Runners and walkers of all ages are invited to join in this popular event, honoring one of the Zoo’s most famous and beloved residents, Samson, the silverback gorilla (1950-1981). Money raised from the event supports all the animals in the Zoo’s population.

  Entry fees include a long-sleeved T-shirt, Zoo admission, beverage, snack, and parking.

  After the event, participants are invited to enjoy the remainder of the day at the Zoo.

  The race will be held rain or shine, snow or cold; however, the Milwaukee County Zoo reserves the right to cancel due to severe weather or dangerous, unforeseen race conditions. No refunds will be given.

  The 5K race is officially timed; results will be publicly available in person and online after the race. All races take place on public walkways throughout the Zoo. Due to safety concerns, no strollers, in-line skates, or similar devices permitted.

  During the event, take part in our mission of conservation by donating your old handheld electronics — cell phones, tablets and e-readers, smart watches, earbuds, digital cameras, digital music players, wearable fitness trackers, handheld gaming systems, and GPS devices — at the Zoo for recycling. The drop-off area is located in the Zoo’s U.S. Bank Gathering Place.

  Recycling handheld electronics reduces the demand for coltan, a mineral extracted from the forests of Congo, home to critically endangered lowland gorillas. The coltan mining business has led to a dramatic reduction of the gorillas’ natural habitat.
