Shine Your Light Mental Health Awareness Run/Walk
The Shine Your Light Mental Health Awareness Run/Walk is a community event held in Nebraska City at the historical Arbor Lodge State Park. Taking place on Memorial Day, the event focuses on raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention while providing support for those affected by mental illness.
This gathering is designed as a non-competitive activity where participants can walk, run, or spend time together. There are no official distances or timing chips provided, allowing attendees to participate at their own pace for as long as they are able. Participants have the option to follow a pre-determined route through the park or choose their own path across the grounds.
On-site amenities and activities include:
- Pre-determined walking and running routes
- Supportive literature regarding mental health
- Event raffle
- Support staff available on the grounds
Packet pickup is available on the morning of the event at the Arbor Lodge Whispering Bench. While registration includes an event T-shirt, availability is only guaranteed for those who complete their registration before the early bird deadline. The park is located at 2600 Arbor Avenue, and the event provides a space for individuals to come together with a common purpose of offering hope and support.
