Miles for Mental Health - Virtual 5K
About this race
About the Event:
Join the Cobb Schools Foundation for a virtual run benefiting the Sources of Strength program—an evidence-based initiative supporting mental health and suicide prevention in Cobb County Schools. This is more than a run—it's a chance to come together for a cause that matters. Rally your coworkers for a team-building experience, gather your family for a fun and meaningful activity, or organize a group to participate as a form of community service. Whether you're logging miles together or cheering each other on virtually, every step helps strengthen the support network for students across our schools.
How It Works:
Participants can register online and complete their 5K or walk anytime, anywhere, between October 1st and October 31st. They can choose their own route, whether it's on a treadmill, around their neighborhood, or in a park.
T-Shirts:
Please place your registration order by September 7th, 2026, in order to receive a t-shirt before your race. If you register after September 7th, we will send your t-shirt as soon as possible, but we cannot guarantee it will be before October 1st.
