Running Towards Tomorrow 5K
Running Towards Tomorrow is a remembrance run and community event taking place in Cumming, Georgia, on 11/14/2026 at 423 Canton Rd. The event includes an in-person 5K and a Virtual 5K Run/Walk option. The virtual option allows participants to complete the 3.1-mile distance from any location and submit a time or participate without submitting a time.
The event was created in memory of a lifelong runner and community member and aims to raise awareness about suicide and mental health struggles. It is presented as a tribute and as a way to highlight the impact of mental health on individuals, families, and communities.
Registration fees listed for the event are $25.00 for the in-person 5K and $20.00 for the Virtual 5K Run/Walk. One hundred percent of donations made through the event website are designated to The Lou Ruspi Jr. Foundation, a nonprofit focused on improving mental wellness and suicide prevention through interactive educational programming for school districts and the community.
Materials provided describe the Virtual 5K as flexible in format: run, walk, jog, hike, or use a treadmill during the event window. Participants may record and submit times or participate for the purpose of supporting the event's mission. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
