Peace of Mind 5K Run/Walk
The Peace of Mind 5K Run/Walk is an event held at Kiwanis Park in Tempe, Arizona, focused on spreading awareness and raising funds for mental health initiatives. The event supports a scholarship fund that provides financial assistance for individuals seeking mental health services. Participants can choose between an in-person 5K or a virtual race option for those residing within the United States.
The 5K course is chip-timed, with real-time results available via a mobile app and website. The event follows a common start and finish line format. Organizers permit the use of wheelchairs, strollers, and wagons on the course, and leashed pets are welcome to participate. For safety reasons, roller blades, skateboards, and motorized devices are prohibited.
Available distances:
- 5K Run/Walk
- Virtual Run
All participants receive a custom finisher's medal and a dri-fit tech t-shirt, though runners may opt out of the shirt for a registration discount. Age group awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers in various categories ranging from 8 and under to 80 and over. A pre- and post-race brunch featuring granola bars, fruit, water, and Gatorade is provided. Packet pick-up is available locally at a sports store in Tempe two days prior to the event or on-site during the morning of the run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
