Organiser's description

The focus of our young charter, run by youth ages 12-18 and mentored by the North Pole Lions Club, is to give back to our local North Pole and Fairbanks communities. With this in mind, The North Pole LEOs Club is hosting its first annual Mental Health Movement 5K/10K. This event's mission is to raise funds to donate 100% to NAMI of Alaska, Fairbanks to help aid in the distribution of mental health services and resources in Fairbanks and the North Pole. We hope this will raise awareness of the mental health needs of all people in our local communities, especially the youth, and adolescents. Thank you for choosing to be part of this special movement! The race will start at 11am with a 10am check-in time.
