This event is organized by the Northeast Michigan Community Mental Health Authority (NeMCMHA) to bring awareness to mental health and reduce its stigma in the local area. It is the fourth annual iteration and features multiple distances: a 2K run-walk, a 5K run-walk, and a 10K run. All participants receive a race bib with a chip timer for official results. The routes are described as being along river paths.

The 10K distance is geared toward runners. All routes are wheelchair and stroller accessible. The event starts and finishes at 400 Johnson Street in Alpena, Michigan. Parking for most participants is available at Alpena Community College across the street.

Children aged 11 and under can register for free and will receive finisher medals. For participants aged 12 and up, there are three registration fee tiers: Early Bird ($20), Regular ($25), and Late ($30). Registration ends on Thursday, May 14, 2026, and there is no same-day registration. Packet pickup is available in advance and on the event day starting at 7:30 a.m.

Awards are given for the top finishers in the 2K and 10K events. Pets are not allowed at the event. The event proceeds rain or shine, though start times may be delayed in the event of lightning. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
