The First Responders Suicide Prevention 5K is a community run/walk held on September 26, 2026 in Locust Grove, Georgia at 4200 Strong Rock Parkway. The event is organized by RELIF in collaboration with Next Step Counseling, LLC and is the fourth annual edition held consecutively with National Law Enforcement Suicide Awareness Day. It emphasizes mental health, physical wellness and community policing.
The event program includes live entertainment, a mental health fair, an expert fitness warm up, and a group warm up and stretch before the start. All participants receive a Relif swag bag.
