The Lake County Suicide Prevention Task Force will host its 14th annual 5K Walk/Run for Awareness and Suicide Prevention on Sept. 26 at College of Lake County.
Over the past several years, the event has had walkers/runners from many states, walking at the event or independently from wherever they are. Last year hosted a record number of participants.
Check-in is from 9 to 10 a.m. There will be a welcome and kickoff ceremony streamed on Facebook Live.
The race begins at 10:30 a.m.
A resource fair will take place from 9 a.m. to noon. This family-friendly and dog-friendly event will also have food trucks.
Registration costs $30 for adults, $10 for children 5 to 12, and free for kids 4 and younger. Teams of five or more are discounted to $25.
All proceeds go to the Lake County Suicide Prevention Task Force, a 501(c)(3) organization, and support our mission to prevent suicide and promote mental health awareness in Lake County through outreach events, professional training and community education, because one suicide is too many.
