Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine is excited to announce our Second Annual Brain Bolt 5K. This year's race will benefit the treatment and care of traumatic brain injuries.

The Brain Bolt 5K will take place on Saturday, October 8 at 8:30 a.m. (race kick-off at 9:00 a.m) at the Carmel Gazebo at Civic Square in Carmel. It is a family-friendly 5K walk/race that will include the popular Monon Trail. The event will feature musical entertainment, local food trucks, and activities for kids. We anticipate more than 300 race participants and family members in attendance.

Each year, thousands of Hoosiers suffer traumatic injuries of the head and spine. The immediate, life-saving efforts of the neurotrauma teams at our Level 1 Trauma Centers provide these patients the best hope for surviving and coping with their injuries. All proceeds of the Brain Bolt 5K will support the efforts of the Neurosurgery Foundation at Goodman Campbell to help fund pilot research projects in traumatic brain injury, a follow-up clinic for patients for after-injury care, and will support the Neurotrauma Database at the Indiana School of Medicine.

Neurosurgery Foundation at Goodman Campbell is dedicated to advancing the health of adults and children with neurosurgical disorders by providing superior care in a state-of-the-art environment of healing, teaching, and discovery.
