We are excited to share that Alzheimer’s Mississippi has now permanently joined The MIND Center to combine resources and to expand caregiver services, educational programs, and family support initiatives across Mississippi for individuals and families living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Because of this new partnership, we are now combining two of the state’s most premier 5k races, the Brawn and Bubbles 5k Run for the Brain and the Run Now Wine Later 5k under one umbrella.
The proceeds of this combined race, the Brawn and Bubbles Run Now Wine Later 5k, will accelerate The MIND Center’s leading-edge Alzheimer’s research here in Mississippi and help to expand dementia-care services and support across the state. After careful consideration and in accordance with MSDH and CDC guidelines, this year’s race will offer a limited in-person option as well as a virtual option. Multiple COVID-19 safety precautions will be in place on race day to ensure our runners, volunteers, and supporters are protected including mask-wearing and maintaining a distance of six feet between people of different households.
In an abundance of caution and in lieu of a 5k after-party, an “add-on” option will be available to runners at registration to attend the "Art, Wine, and Wheels" Kick-off Party immediately after the race which will be held directly adjacent to the finish area.

COVID-19 Safety Procedures
Your safety means everything!
- Prior to the race, runners will be required to complete an online COVID-symptom questionnaire.
- All runners will be asked to wear a face mask upon arrival and keep the mask on until they have completely crossed the starting time line. Masks will be required at all times before and after the run.
- Runners will be sent out in waves of 15 people or less, spaced six feet apart, and staggered in 15 second intervals, to avoid over-crowding at the start line.
- Runners are encouraged to self-hydrate as there will not be water stations available on the route to avoid person-to-person contact. Water will be available at the finish line.
- Awards will be mailed to runners who place overall and in their respective age groups.
- Hand sanitizer stations will be located at race check-in stations and extra face masks will be available on-site.
