St. Mary's Steps for Hope 5K

St. Mary's and Bates College collaborate to host the Steps for Hope event in Lewiston, Maine. This community gathering focuses on raising awareness for mental health and generating funds to expand spaces for behavioral health hospitalization. The event features multiple ways for participants of different ages to get involved through running, walking, or an obstacle course.

The event is held at Bates College, providing a central location for the local community and those traveling from across Maine. Participants can choose from the following activities:

  • Steps for Hope 5K Run
  • Steps for Hope 5K Walk
  • Kids Obstacle Course (Open to ages 12 and under)

The 5K Run and 5K Walk offer separate registration categories for those who prefer to complete the distance at their own pace. The Kids Obstacle Course is a specialized event specifically designed for younger participants. Registration for the 5K events is capped at a specific number of spots to manage the capacity on the Bates College grounds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
