Participants can enjoy a 1K or 5K walk/run along a scenic route featuring uplifting Mental Health Awareness messages designed to encourage hope, healing and community connection. Attendees will also have access to a wide range of local mental health resources, community vendors and nonprofit organizations offering information and support services.

Special guest speakers include Kristina Duggan, Doug Haubert, Kelly Ruggirello, Dawn McIntosh and Rotary District 5320 Governor Craig Livingston, who will help kick off the event beginning at 9 a.m.

“This event is about showing our community that mental wellness matters and that support is available,” organizers shared. “Whether you walk the full route or simply stop by to show support, your presence makes a difference.”

Families, friends and even dogs are welcome to attend. Following the event, participants are invited to continue the fellowship with drinks and lunch at Monty’s Bar and Grill.

The Rotary Clubs are encouraging fellow Rotarians and community members throughout the region to come out in support of mental health awareness and community wellness.
