"IN HONOR OF" is an opportunity to sponsor a personal message sign along the race route to honor or remember friends or family members who may have experienced a stroke.
About The Event
We are expecting a sell out crowd this year. Be sure to register early - registration is limited to 800 participants. Also new this year, we will have both black and pink t-shirts. If you have a color preference, it is suggested you attend packet pick up on Thursday, May 4 from 5:00-7:30. Color choice will be first come/first serve. Onsite registrations will not be guaranteed t-shirts.
Join Huntsville Memorial Hospital and our Stroke Neurologist, Dr. Bruce, as we host “Neon For Neurons”, a community color fun run to raise awareness of Stroke during the month of May. That’s right, we said COLOR run. Neon for Neurons will be a night run where participants sport glow-in-the-dark gear like bracelets, necklaces, body paint, glow sticks and more- not to mention being “showered” with color along the raceway at our Color Pit Stops. Mark your calendars now for May 5, 2017.
Participants can choose to walk 1 mile in our “Slow Pokes for Stroke” event or take part in the ‘Color Me FAST” 5k. F.A.S.T. stands for FACE: "smile," ARM: "raise both arms," SPEECH: "Repeat this phrase," TIME: "Call 9-1-1." Our goal is to raise awareness, support and honor survivors, and decrease the incidence of stroke in Walker County with this fun event.
Onsite race registration and packet pick-up will be Thursday, May 4 from 5:00-7:30 and Friday, May 5 (event day) at 5:00-7:30 pm in the Center for Rehabilitation parking lot at 125 Medical Park Lane. After online registration closes at noon, the registration fee will increase to 25.00 for onsite registration.
Event day:
The walk/run kick off will begin at 7:45 with opening ceremonies with the walk/run to begin at 8:00 pm. Be sure to stick around afterwards for food, pictures, and music.
**Be sure to register early to receive your preferred shirt size. Participants who register after April 14 are not guaranteed a t-shirt.
