# Event Details

- **Event Name**: 6th Annual Don’t Lose Hope 5k
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 am (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Please join us at our 6th Annual ‘Don’t Lose Hope: 5k Run/Walk for Suicide Awareness’!

In 2025, early national data show that the United States continues to lose nearly 50,000 people to suicide each year. Behind every number is a person, a family, and a community forever changed- a reminder of how deeply important connection, support, and accessible mental health care truly are.

Every year, 1 in 5 U.S. adults experiences a mental health condition. Most of us have either lost someone to suicide or know someone who has been touched by it. Now more than ever, we need honest conversations, genuine check‑ins, and a commitment to kindness. Suicide is not a sign of weakness — it’s a sign that someone is carrying more pain than they can manage alone. Let’s be the reason someone feels seen, heard, and supported. Join us in breaking the stigma around mental health by showing your support on Sunday, September 27th.

Run with a p u r p o s e.

Run for a loved one who you’ve lost to suicide, run for a friend you know is struggling, or run for your own personal mental health battle.

Whatever your reason, you’re making a d i f f e r e n c e.

Whether you run, jog, or walk; your presence is what is appreciated most!

Registration will begin at 7:30 am and the official race start time will be 8:30 am. Upon your arrival on race day, please be sure to check in as well as get your honor beads (see below for honor beads description).

**PS. If you didn’t get to register in time, we will be accepting same-day registrations!**
