About this race

Join us for the 11th Annual Run for Your Life—a Halloween-themed 5K and Kid’s Run benefiting Help Center, Inc.’s 24/7 crisis and suicide prevention services. Help Center, Inc. has been here for our community for decades, offering hope, connection, and life-saving support.

This beloved community race raises awareness for suicide prevention, helps break the stigma around seeking mental health care, and inspires movement for the mind, body, and spirit. Choose the 5K along the scenic southside trail system and streets, the Kid’s 1K Fun Run around the MSU Football Stadium, or our Virtual Run—any distance, anywhere.

Runners, walkers, rollers, strollers, and dogs are all welcome. Wear your best costume, bring your community spirit, and join us in making every step count toward hope.
