About the Mathew Forbes Romer Foundation 5K for Brain Health
The course runs through South County Regional Park on the western edge of Boca Raton. Park terrain tends to be flat, open ground, which keeps the route accessible to most paces. The race benefits a foundation focused on genetic brain diseases in children, so the crowd skews toward families and supporters who are there for the cause as much as the clock.
Packet pickup runs in the days before the race at a local running store, with race-morning pickup available at the amphitheater before the start. Parking at the amphitheater is free, and you can pick up bibs for others in your group at the same time.
