Suicide Prevention Day Virtual 5K

The 1 in 5 Series is all about reducing the effects and the stigma of mental illness by lacing up to make a difference. The conversation around mental health would not be complete without attention to preventing suicide. Over the last decade, suicide rates have increased across the U.S. It’s likely that someone you know or their loved one has struggled with or been touched by suicide. With Suicide Prevention Day on September 10, the running community can converge to highlight this important issue.

Run or walk anywhere you choose – a park, your neighborhood, a treadmill. Wherever you are, run or walk 5K any time during the week of September 10 and log your activity here.

This virtual event costs nothing to register – but it means everything.
