NAMI Tallahassee's Bluebird Run/Walk for Mental Health Awareness & Suicide Prevention

Remember the hugs, the handshakes, and the sense of community on Labor Day mornings since 2015? Let’s do it again.
And if this is your first Bluebird—welcome. You won’t want to miss it.

 
🏃‍♀️ 5K Trail Run in Tallahassee
Our Tallahassee 5K trail run is one of the most beautiful—and challenging—in the area. The wide, multi-use trails wind through the greenway in a scenic loop, starting and ending at the trailhead.

Perfect for runners looking for a Labor Day race in Tallahassee with both natural beauty and a meaningful cause.

“You’ll never forget your first Bluebird.”
