Mental Health Fun Run
About this race
Step Forward for Mental Health
Join us in the heart of Thornville for a high-energy, heart-filled 3K Fun Run that’s about so much more than the finish line. Hosted at the Thornville Community Park, this event brings our community together to support mental health awareness—because no one should ever feel like they’re running alone.
Led by local City Queen of Thornville, Ariana Frick, this run is all about breaking the stigma, building connections, and reminding everyone that it’s okay to ask for help. Whether you sprint, jog, or stroll, your presence makes a difference. To give back to our community, all proceeds will be donated to All-Well Behavioral Health in Perry County. The goal is to raise $5,000 in registrations and donations. We are still seeking local sponsors to assist in sponsoring this event. Please submit a contact request if interested in becoming a sponsor!
