2026 URI Be 5K

The University of Rhode Island Counseling Center is hosting the 17th annual Be 5K, a 5K walk/run focused on suicide prevention and mental health awareness. The event is organized to raise funds for the Heather Fund; proceeds support suicide prevention and mental health programs within the URI community.

The Be 5K brings together URI students, faculty, staff, families and community members to explore on and off campus resources related to mental health and to learn about ways to reduce stigma around suicide and mental health challenges. The event takes place rain or shine and welcomes pets.

Entry categories are all 5K and include a general registration fee of $20 and reduced fees of $15 for URI students, faculty and staff and for veterans. The event location is 10 Lippitt Rd, Kingston, RI 02881, USA. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
