Miles that Matter 5K Fun Run
Miles That Matter 1K Walk
Description
Join us at College of Saint Mary on May 2nd for the Miles That Matter 5K, a 5K run and 1K walk hosted by PA students in support of mental health awareness. Held during Mental Health Awareness Month, this event is dedicated to promoting wellness, resilience, and open conversations around mental health within our community and beyond.
Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, every step you take helps support mental health initiatives and reinforces the importance of caring for both physical and mental well-being. As future Physician Assistants, we believe meaningful change starts now by showing up for our patients, our peers, and ourselves.
All ages and fitness levels are welcome. Come move with purpose, support an important cause, and help us turn miles into impact.
Because these are Miles That Matter.
Sponsorship Opportunities
This is the inaugural year of Miles That Matter, and we are actively seeking community partners to help launch this meaningful event. All proceeds from this year’s event will go directly toward supporting the PA program and establishing a strong foundation for this initiative.
Our long-term goal is to grow Miles That Matter into a sustainable, annual event that not only raises awareness for mental health, but also allows us to give back—eventually directing proceeds to local nonprofit organizations dedicated to mental health advocacy and community partnership.
Sponsorships and in-kind donations will directly support event costs and play a vital role in building this new tradition centered on mental health awareness and community wellness. All sponsors will be recognized on the official Miles That Matter event T-shirt, worn by participants and volunteers.
