Run for Mental Health 5K/10K/13.1 SACRAMENTO
About the race
Introducing the "Run for Mental Health", an empowering journey towards well-being. Run with purpose, 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. Your run can make a difference.
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.
This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave, so it never feels crowded and you are never just a bib number. All paces and ages are welcome (under 18 with a guardian). Run it, walk it, however you like.
There is no gear, no setup, and no fuss: just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting.

- Running T-shirt (shipped to your address, U.S. only)

Packet pickup and shirt delivery
Packet pickup is not needed: your swag ships straight to your door. Double-check your full U.S. mailing address, including apartment number, when you register, since your shirt is sent there. Race bibs are handed out on race day.
When will my swag arrive?
Your shirt arrives at your mailing address the week of your race.
Signing up within 2 weeks of the race
