The time is NOW:Join us and celebrate 10 years of running and walking for mental health!Sunday, May 4, 2014 from 8am to noon at scenic FDR State Park in Yorktown Heights, New York
Our 5K Run/Walk & 1 Mile Kids’ Race offers the unique opportunity to come together as a community and take a stand for mental health. Whether you run or walk, your participation helps raise the money that makes our work possible. With the data now showing that 1 in 5 live with a mental health condition, more effective help and better resources are essential. Join us and go the extra kilometer for mental health services. Give where you live!  

For runners, it's a 5K race timed by the Taconic Road runners with medals awarded to top male/female in each age category plus overall male and female.

For walkers, it's a beautiful 5K walk in the park.

For kids under 10, it's a 1-mile race with a special warm up and ribbons for all plus medals to the top three boys and girls.
