Run for Mental Health 5K/10K/13.1 LOS ANGELES
About the race
Run with purpose, run with heart for someone you know who is on that difficult journey, like all of us. Let's break the stigma and stride towards a healthier mind, because your run can make a difference.
Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds. We keep things small, personal, and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory.
Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event.
Optional timing
Optional. Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our online form to get posted. Or ask a coordinator to help time you.
There are no timing chips. This is about progress, not pressure.
Packet pickup and race bibs
Skip it. No lines, no hassle. Your swag ships straight to your door. Double-check your full U.S. mailing address, including apartment number, when you register, as your shirt is sent to this address. Race bibs are handed out on race day.
When my swag arrives
Your shirt will arrive at your mailing address the week of your race.
Signing up within 2 weeks of the 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.
Course map and participant info
We'll send final participant info by the Wednesday before race day, with all the details and course maps.

The course
Event overview
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.
Each wave closes when it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can take the virtual run option or join the waitlist.
All paces and ages are welcome (under 18 with a guardian). Run it, walk it, however you like.
There's no gear, no setup, no fuss, just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting.
