Talk 2 Me Fall4U 10K Run/Walk
This event at Shawnee Mission Park shelter 1 includes multiple running options and a virtual entry, and benefits Talk2Me, a 501(c)(3) program focused on mental and physical health and suicide prevention. The organization provides education, an open sharing platform, an action and accountability plan, counseling grants, and a mental health advocacy scholarship for rising college students.
The schedule features in-person races and a virtual 5K. The in-person program includes the fifth annual 5K run/walk and a newly added 10K. A short youth course is offered for ages roughly 3 to 21 or participants with need-based pricing; that group receives a special shirt, ribbon, and treats. A free 5K option is listed that allows attendance without swag.
Virtual participants can run at any time and place and may receive mailed shirts; a $7.50 donation for shipping and handling is requested for out-of-town mailing. Registration fees vary by event.
Distances available:
- 10 km

The event raises awareness and funding to support Talk2Me programs, peer outreach, and resources that list safe contacts and crisis lines for people in need. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
