As the sun sets, we lace up for mental health. Join the Hope Network Foundation for a powerful night of racing through the park and coming together to make a difference in honor of the 1 in 5 who face mental illness any given year. Choose from the 5K race or link up with a team of five to complete a full marathon. It all ends with an epic post-race celebration – lights, music, food trucks, drinks, and being part of a community committed to taking action for mental health.

About the Hope Network One in Five Series

The Hope Network One in Five Series is a collection of races and challenges to get people moving for mental health. One in five adults will face a mental illness in any given year, and that number is growing. Wherever you live, it’s all around you – and the numbers prove it:

  • Depression is the #1 cause of illness and disability worldwide.
  • Nearly 60% of mental illness goes untreated.
  • Suicide is the third leading cause of death among youth ages 10-24.
  • More than 50% of people will be diagnosed with a mental health illness or disorder at some point in their lifetime.

When you join a One in Five Series event, you address the issue head-on by becoming part of a global community committed to turning the conversation about mental health issues into action. That’s what the One in Five Series is all about – reducing the effects and stigma of mental illness with every stride, stretch, and session. Moving for your own mental health, while supporting your community’s as well.
