2024 World Mental Health Day 5K

What it is

October 10 is World Mental Health Day AND Still I Run's 8th birthday! To bring more awareness to mental health issues and celebrate our birthday, we host a 5K running event every year. Last year we offered the option of a virtual or in-person event thanks to some of our awesome Run Chapters. We're excited to be bringing both options back again this year! 

Your Two Options

Virtual - By now you're probably familiar with the virtual option! Just choose the Virtual 5K Walk/Run and we'll ship your gear to you. If you register before September 5, we'll get your gear to you before October 10. Then, any time between October 10-13th, you complete your miles in your area!

In-Person - Back by popular demand, we're offering folks the opportunity to run their 5K distance with a group in select areas around the country! Because we want to focus more on being together and movement for mental health, these in-person gatherings will be a group run and NOT a race. Each group run will have a designated location, route, and start time. That information is available on the in-person events page.

What You Get

• Race Medal
• Race Tee-Shirt
• Still I Run Cooling Towel
• 1 (one) entry into our fabulous raffle (LOTS of swag up for grabs!)
• The satisfaction of knowing you're supporting Still I Run's mission to promote the benefits of running for mental health!

While each registration does earn one raffle ticket, you can donate for more tickets, which increases your chance to win! Each $5 donation to Still I Run = 1 more raffle ticket! (ex. Register yourself + $10 SIR donation = 3 raffle tickets)!
