Lake County Suicide Prevention Task Force 5K Walk/Run for Awareness and Suicide Prevention
About this race
The Lake County Suicide Prevention Task Force 13th Annual 5K Walk/Run for Awareness and Suicide Prevention returns to the College of Lake County on Saturday, September 26, 2026. We are excitedly anticipating the connections with all who join us either in person or online. Over the last several years we have had walkers/runners from many different States, walking with us or independently from wherever they are, and last year we had our record number of participants! Your support is meaningful and helps us provide training and support to all the members of our community of Lake County.
