5K for Mental Health Awareness

5K for Mental Health Awareness Proceeds from the event are directed toward local mental health organizations or nonprofit A mental health resource fair will also be part of the event!

The 5K for Mental Health Awareness, co-hosted by Central Lakes College and Crow Wing Energized, aims to highlight the importance of mental health in the community. Central Lakes College (CLC) and Crow Wing Energized (CWE) host this 5k and 1 mile walk event to bring awareness to mental health. This event also gives back to the community by donating a portion of the funds to organizations or programs that support mental health or well-being. Each year a different organization is selected; CLC chooses a program on campus that supports students and CWE chooses a community organization. Gather your friends, family, co-workers and make it a team building experience. All ages and abilities are invited to to participate in the fun! Strollers and friendly dogs on leashes are welcome. Please start at the back of the pack if you have a stroller or dog. We race rain or shine and no refunds will be given.
