Get ready to lace up your shoes for a great cause this September! The Break the Silence 5K is a virtual walk/run taking place from September 1 to September 30, 2025. While the event is hosted by the Samaritan Counseling Center of Southeast Texas, participants can join from anywhere, making it accessible for everyone. This exciting event aims to honor Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and raise vital awareness about mental health challenges.

For a registration fee of just $30, you'll not only receive a free T-shirt and cooling towel, but you'll also be entered into weekly drawings for gift cards and donated prizes. Whether you choose to walk, jog, or run, your participation will contribute to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and supporting essential services in our community. Join the movement and help spread hope and awareness this September!
