Event summary
Join us for The Gray May 5k on Sunday, May 28th, 2023, in Onalaska, La Crosse, where runners and walkers come together to support an important cause—Brain Cancer Research! This year, participants can choose from a unique virtual option, allowing you to complete a 5k any day in May, making it easy to fit this meaningful event into your schedule. Whether you're running solo or with a group of friends, your participation will help raise vital funds for brain cancer research, a critical area where survival rates remain low.
In honor of Brain Cancer Awareness Month, this event, organized by Mat'ias Dahl—a dedicated Onalaska High School senior—aims to make a difference in the fight against brain cancer, a disease that has personally affected Mat'ias and his family. All proceeds will be donated to the Gundersen Medical Foundation to further support research efforts. So lace up your running shoes, have fun, and make a positive impact this May!

Organiser's description
Welcome Runners and Walkers ! Let's all get out there to support Brain Cancer Research.
This year we were unable to secure a good location and date for the race (and the organizer is graduating in May.) So this year there will be a virtual option. But we will also try to get a group together (informally for those that want a more real race experience).
Run a 5k any day in may and help raise money for Brain Cancer Research. Brain Cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to treat and the survival rates are quite low.
This race is being organized by Mat'ias Dahl, a senior at Onalaska High School. His grandmother died from brain cancer and was treated at Gundersen in the 1980s. This race will donate all proceeds to Gundersen Medical Foundation to continue to fund brain cancer research.
May is brain (gray matter is part of brain and gray is associated with brain cancer awareness) cancer awareness month! So let's have fun, raise $, and run a little!
