Embrace the Journey 5K - Walk On Rock On!

Welcome to the Embrace the Journey 5K, a celebration of mental wellness, community, and music! Join us for a day of fun and connection as we embrace our individual journeys towards well-being. This event is more than just a run; it's an opportunity to come together, take care of ourselves, and enjoy the experience.

Walk On Rock On: After the 5K, we invite you to enjoy live performances by Walter Lee and PanikDevice at our after-run concert. This concert is free and open to everyone, whether you participated in the race or not. Immerse yourself in their music and connect with others who share a passion for mental wellness and community support.

Delicious eats will be available from Hot Dog Dawg, Travlin' Tom's , and Sola Bread. Take a moment to explore our sponsor booths and learn more about organizations dedicated to supporting our community.
