Event: Walk/Run For Awareness
Join us for a day of fresh air, exercise, and music! Mental Health Matters Walk/Run for Awareness is a family-friendly event that aims to end the stigma around seeking support for mental health challenges and will feature a community resource fair with representatives from many wellness and mental health organizations in WNC. Mental Health Matters is a public forum for normalizing conversations around mental health struggles so that all of us who need help can more easily access a qualified professional for support. All funds raised will support the work of All Souls Counseling Center.
There will be two course options available:
1. Walk or Run around UNCA's newly installed track
2. Walk or Run through UNCA's beautiful campus (approximately 5k route)
This event is free to participants ages 22 and under. Early bird registration is $15 through August 18th and will be $20 from August 19th to September 23rd. We encourage you to form a walk/run team! Every participant who registers by August 31st will receive an event t-shirt!
All registrants should plan on arriving between 9AM-9:30AM to allow time to park, get checked-in, and participate in a group stretch/warm up.
