Join runners across the country on October 10 for the World Mental Health Day 5K. Run, walk, or move 3.1 miles and help make mental health part of the conversation.

For some of us, running clears our heads. For others, it gives us something steady to come back to when life feels heavy. And sometimes, simply putting one foot in front of the other is enough.

On World Mental Health Day, we're moving together.

Run, walk, or complete your 5K however it feels right to you. Your pace doesn't matter. Your time doesn't matter. Showing up does.

Pre and post race there will be 4 local wellness partners set up to visit. Post race will feature a DIY post race recovery station, where participants can create a goodie bag of recovery/running essentials!

Note: This is not a partnership between the MoCo Slow and Fleet Feet or Still I Run -- we are just coordinating our club running the event.
