EveryMile for EveryMind 5K and 1K Fun Run/Walk
The EveryMile for EveryMind event takes place in Rockville Town Center during Mental Health Awareness Month. This community focused event aims to raise awareness for mental health and supports services provided throughout Maryland and the DC metro area. The proceeds benefit programs for a wide range of individuals, including students, veterans, immigrants, and those experiencing homelessness or crisis.
Participants can choose from three distinct distances:
- 5K
- 1K Fun Run and Walk
- 100 meters (Kids Run)
The 5K course is chip-timed by MCRRC Race Management Services. The route begins on Gibbs Street near Beall and moves through local streets including North Washington Street, Owens Street, Carr Avenue, and Mannakee Street. Sections of the course utilize sidewalks along Wilson Avenue and Mannakee Street. The course includes a hill on Owens Street before returning to the finish line at the original starting location.
Packet pickup is available on the days leading up to the race at RnJ Sports on Parklawn Drive. On the morning of the event, pickup transitions to the black tents at Rockville Town Square. All 5K participants are required to collect a shoe chip on race morning to ensure accurate timing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
