About this race

The 9th annual Grey Matters 5K/10K/virtual race will be held in Downtown Whitesburg, Kentucky on Saturday, May 16th, 2026. For those of you who will be unable to travel to us, we will continue to offer the virtual option this year. 

We are thrilled to be in our ninth year and look forward to once again bring people who have been affected by brain cancer and members of the community together to help spread awareness of the disease.

Proceeds from this year's event will go to the Letcher County group ICAN, who helps people in need, including cancer patients, and another organization chosen by our honoree, who we are pleased to announce is Miss Ella Johnson. 

Join fellow runners on May 16, 2026 for the Grey Matters 5K/10K/Virtual Race. It's a fantastic 5K, 10K featuring a flat and fast course in Whitesburg.
