Event summary
Join us for the uplifting World Mental Health Day 5K on Saturday, October 10, 2026! This special event celebrates the power of movement and community, as participants come together to promote mental well-being through a shared experience. Whether you choose to run, walk, or complete the 3.1-mile distance in your own unique way, the emphasis is on participation and connection rather than competition.
As part of National Run for Mental Health Week, this event encourages everyone to show up and support mental health awareness. Registration options include a $10 entry for the virtual 5K, which also gives you a chance to win in the World Mental Health Day Prize Drawing, or opt for the $25 Commemorative Collection registration that comes with exclusive keepsakes like a woven patch and performance neck gaiter. Let’s move together towards a brighter future—your pace, your journey, your impact!

Organiser's Description
3.1 MILES. ONE SHARED PURPOSE.
For some of us, running clears our heads. For others, it gives us something steady to come back to when life feels heavy. And sometimes, simply putting one foot in front of the other is enough.
On World Mental Health Day, we're moving together.
Run, walk, or complete your 5K however it feels right to you. Your pace doesn't matter. Your time doesn't matter. Showing up does.
As the culminating event of National Run for Mental Health Week, the World Mental Health Day 5K sponsored by Altra brings people together from across the country for one shared day of movement and purpose.
