Run for Mental Health 5K/10K/13.1 LAS VEGAS
About the race
Run for Mental Health is an empowering journey toward well-being. Run with purpose and heart for someone you know who is on that difficult journey, like all of us.
Let's break the stigma and stride toward a healthier mind. We keep things small, personal and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory.

When swag arrives
Your shirt will arrive at your mailing address the week of your race.
Shipping may not catch up in time, so your shirt could arrive after race day. You are welcome to wear whatever you like and run with us anyway.

The course
Event format
This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave, so it never feels crowded and you're never just a bib number.
All paces and ages are welcome (under 18 with a guardian). Run it, walk it, however you like.
There's no gear and no setup. You'll have the course and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting.
When you sign up, you get real support toward your fitness goals, plus an invitation to join one of our local run clubs.
Location
City insight: Las Vegas
Las Vegas is the largest city in Nevada, in a basin on the floor of the Mojave Desert, surrounded by mountain ranges and known for its resorts and the Strip. It has a hot desert climate: summers (June to September) are extremely hot, with a July average high of about 40 C, winters are short with mild days and cool nights, and the transitional seasons are warm. Autumn to spring is the best time to race, with abundant sunshine and very low humidity. Avoid summer, when daytime heat is severe and nights stay warm. Rain is scarce.
