Event Overview
The Run for Mental Health is a community-focused running event taking place at the Riverwalk in Bradenton, Florida. This event emphasizes well-being and mental health awareness through a supportive, group-running environment. It is designed as a small, private group run with a limited number of participants per wave to ensure a stress-free experience.
Participants of all ages and paces are welcome to take part. Those under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. The event does not use timing chips, though coordinators are available to assist with manual timing, and runners may also track their own progress using various mobile applications to post results online later.
