World Mental Health Day 5K - Virtual
About this race
Move for Your Mental Well-Being
Join us virtually on October 10 for the World Mental Health Day 5K, a celebration of movement, community, and mental well-being.
Complete your 5K wherever you are and in whatever way feels best to you. Run your favorite neighborhood route, explore a local trail, hop on the treadmill, or gather friends and family to move together. Every participant helps raise awareness for mental health while supporting Still I Run's mission to promote movement for mental well-being.
As the culminating event of National Run for Mental Health Week, the World Mental Health Day 5K brings people together from across the country for one shared day of movement and purpose.
