Event Overview
The Mental Health Matters 5K and Fun Run is a community athletic event held in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Organized by the Stafford Education Foundation (SEF), the event takes place during Mental Health Awareness Month in May. The primary objective is to support the well-being of students, educators, and families while raising funds for mental health resources, classroom grants, and wellness initiatives specifically within Stafford County Public Schools.
Course and Distances
The event takes place at Pratt Park, located at 120 River Road. Participants can choose between two distinct distances:
- 5K running race
- 1/2 Mile untimed Fun Run
The 5K is a timed race for those tracking personal performance, while the 1/2 Mile Fun Run is designed as a non-competitive option.
Participation and Registration
The event is open to various types of participants, including seasoned runners and families walking together. Registration for both distances opens in late February and closes firmly in mid-April. All registered participants contribute to the funding of educational and mental health programs through their registration fees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
