Description

The Hope in Motion 5K is back for its second annual race!

Join us as our campus community comes together to raise awareness about suicide, support those who are struggling, and remind one another that no one has to face difficult moments alone. This race is more than a 5K—it’s an opportunity to stand together and show that hope and support are always worth moving toward.

Whether you run, walk, or simply come out to support, every step helps put hope in motion. Let’s come together, raise awareness, and show our community that we’re in this together.

Join us on Friday, Sept 11th on the front lawn of the Campus Recreation Center for the Hope in Motion 5k. Start time is 7am. It's our community coming together to support those who face mental health challenges every day.

In recognition of GT Suicide Prevention Week (GTSPW)

ONLY OPEN to students, employees, and alumni of the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Registration closes Friday Sept 11th at 6:30 AM. Early bib pickup available on Thursday Sept 10th from 11am – 1pm on Tech Green South/Skiles Walkway. RACE DAY BIB pickup is available between 6am and 6:45am on the day of the race.

Hosted by the GT Center for Mental Health Care & Resources and the GTSPW Planning Committee
