Run For Mental Health Los Angeles
About this race
Join the "Run for Mental Health"! A journey of hope and connection. 💙
Every step is a reminder that no one has to face life’s challenges alone.
Whether running for yourself or someone you love, your stride makes a difference. Let's break the stigma together! 🏃♀️🏃♂️💨
Run with purpose. Run with heart! 💪
Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds. We keep things small, personal, and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory. Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event.Overview:
Spots sell out FAST! We close each wave the moment it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can grab the virtual run option or join the waitlist.
This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave so it never feels crowded and you're never just a bib number.
All paces and ages welcome (under 18 with a guardian) - run it, walk it, however you like!
There's no gear, no setup, no fuss - just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting.
When you sign up, you're not just registering for a race - you're getting real support toward your fitness goals, plus an invite to join one of our local run clubs to keep the momentum going.
Timing:
Optional! Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted. Or just ask a coordinator to help time you.
No timing chips - this is about progress, not pressure.
