Miles for Mental Health 5K : Grand Rapids
Miles for Mental Health 5K is an inaugural 5K event held in Grand Rapids at the Grand Rapids Rowing Club Boathouse, 291 N Park St NW. The event aims to address stigma around mental illness and expand access to running as a tool for mental well-being.

Participation is offered in two formats:
- 5K in person
- Virtual 5K with shirt and medal shipped
All in-person 5K registrants receive a race shirt and a finisher medal. Virtual participants receive a shirt and medal by mail. Published registration pricing includes processing fees for each option.
Packet pickup is available prior to race day at The Well Being in Grand Rapids on June 19 and at the Grand Rapids Rowing Club Boathouse on race day, June 20. The event lists sponsors including MSUFCU, The Center for Physical Rehabilitation, and Wedgewood Christian Services. The fundraising goal for the event is $1,000.00, with $326.96 raised to date.
