Organiser's Description

The eighth annual Rams Let's Walk 5k will be held on Sunday, September 20th, 2026 at 9am to raise funds and awareness for West Chester University student-athlete mental health.

Mental health and suicide prevention awareness are topics near and dear to WCU Athletics, affecting our WCU student-athletes and community directly. It's important to bring light to such sensitive topics in order to normalize the conversation, unify our community, and validate the necessity for providing resources and support to student-athletes.
