5K FOR PTSD AWARENESS DAY

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

Join the 5K for PTSD Awareness Day — Run with Purpose, Walk with Heart.

Every mile you move is a message: You are not alone. We see you. We honor you.

🌟 Purpose of the Event

On PTSD Awareness Day, we gather for more than just a 5K — we gather to stand shoulder to shoulder with the heroes who have carried the weight of trauma, often in silence.

• Support: This event supports Healing Hometown Heroes' peer-to-peer mental health program.
• Funding: Directly funding resources and safe spaces for first responders and veterans to heal, together.
• Honor: Running in honor of those who have supported us in our times of need.
• Community: Building connections and support within our communities.

🤝 Significance of Participation

Whether you’re running in honor of a first responder who pulled you from wreckage, saved your loved one during a medical crisis, or a veteran who served with courage and sacrifice — your participation becomes an act of gratitude, healing, and solidarity.

• Gratitude: An expression of thanks to those who serve.
• Healing: An opportunity to promote mental health awareness.
• Solidarity: Standing together with those who have experienced trauma.
• Act of Service: Contributing to a cause greater than ourselves.

❤️ Call to Action

Let this be more than a race. Let it be a demonstration of how selfless we can be in giving back to those who’ve given so much. Let it be a living tribute — to resilience, to service, to community.

Come run. Come walk. Come remember. Come honor.
