Run for Mental Health 5K/10K/13.1 NEW JERSEY
About the race
Run for Mental Health is a small, personal, local run that welcomes all paces and ages, with runners under 18 joining with a guardian.
Run with purpose and heart for someone you know who is on that difficult journey. Let's break the stigma and stride towards a healthier mind!
Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds. Each wave is capped, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory.
Timing
Optional! Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted. Or just ask a coordinator to help time you.
No timing chips - this is about progress, not pressure.
