Event Overview

The Rickney B. Hunter Miles for Minds 3K "Running for Healing & Hope" is an inaugural athletic event held in Bessemer, Alabama. The race takes place at Debardeleben Park and is scheduled during Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. The primary objective of the event is to raise awareness for men's mental health issues and to honor the legacy of Rickney B. Hunter.

Participants have the choice of two distinct distances:

  • 3K
  • Fun Run (1 mile)

The event intends to foster open conversations and address the stigma associated with mental health struggles. Attendance is open to those who wish to walk, run, or support as spectators. The course is situated within the localized setting of Debardeleben Park, providing a central venue for the community to gather. Registration for both distances opens in early March 2026. This gathering serves as a platform for healing and hope while bringing health awareness to the forefront. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
