The Nathaniel H. Pickett II Foundation will host Jog N Jam for Mental Health on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at the Chesapeake &amp; Ohio Canal National Historical Park – Carderock Recreation Area Pavilion in Potomac, Maryland (GPS: 38.9725215, -77.2001899). The free community wellness event will promote mental health awareness, healthy lifestyles, and access to mental wellness information and resources.
Registration and check-in begin at 8:00 a.m., followed by a guided yoga stretch and a 9:00 a.m. run start. Participants may walk or jog 10K, 5K, or 2.5K routes, making the event welcoming to a wide range of ages and fitness levels. Under the theme “Bigger. Better. Free!”, this year’s Jog N Jam will combine movement, music, and community engagement through live music, freestyle dancing, instructor-led line dancing, and family-friendly activities. More than a fitness event, Jog N Jam is designed to encourage open conversations about mental health while highlighting the connection between physical activity, social connection, and emotional well-being. The event also advances the Foundation’s ongoing “Growing Minds” initiative, which empowers individuals and communities through education, awareness, and engagement.
Community members must register in advance through Eventbrite and are encouraged to invite family, friends, and colleagues to participate.

Join us for a joyful and uplifting celebration of 
“Raksha Bandhan,” a cherished Indian festival honoring the sacred bonds 
of love, purity, protection, and unity.
Meaning “Bond of Protection,” Raksha Bandhan 
reminds us that we are connected not only through our relationships with
 one another, but also through our deeper spiritual connection with the 
Divine. It is an opportunity to renew our commitment to truth, kindness,
 peace, and mutual respect.
The program will feature an inspiring reflection on
 the spiritual significance of Raksha Bandhan, the traditional tying of 
the Rakhi, guided meditation, and special blessings. Refreshments will be served.
Come experience the beauty of this meaningful 
tradition and leave inspired to strengthen the bonds of love, cultivate 
inner peace, and contribute to greater unity in our world.
