Description

Join us Saturday, September 19, 2026 for the 13th Annual Thumbs Up 5K & 10K Run/Walk/Bike Event!

Choose a scenic 5K or 10K (run, walk, or bike) on paved trails with beautiful views of the lake and conservation area. Kids can enjoy a fun, non-timed Youth Color Run. This family-friendly gathering celebrates mental health awareness, reduces stigma around mental illness, and honors those lost to suicide — all while building community through movement, remembrance, wellness vendors, and kid-friendly activities.

Come move forward together — one step, one conversation, one thumbs up at a time!
