💬 Importance of Mental Health
Mental health affects all people of all ages, it is just as important as physical health and it does not discriminate. This event isn't just a race: it's a powerful movement to create awareness while finding hope in solidarity.
We hope that whatever you may be dealing with, that running is one of the things that helps you get through the challenging days and that you have the community to support you when you need it.
🤝 Community Engagement
We all go through times that can challenge our mental health. Let's normalize that with more visibility and presence within our community as we continue to amplify the conversation surrounding mental health and build a brighter future.
🥳 Post-Race Celebration
Invite your friends & family and enjoy the post-race party/festival with delicious food trucks, vendors, petting zoo, yoga, acupuncture, and more! Plan to bring a form of payment to enjoy these amazing vendors and support CLT small businesses!
