A TWILIGHT RUN FOR MENTAL HEALTH
Your favorite summer event is back, August 27 at Millennium Park! We can’t wait to welcome you for a powerful night of racing through the park and coming together to make a difference. At the relay, teams of five will complete a full marathon. The first runner will represent the one in five by taking on a more challenging 6.2 mile route. The last four runners will each complete a 5 mile loop. Individual registration for the 6.2 mile and 5 mile loop is also available.
Includes medal, shirt, and one unforgettable evening
ABOUT THE 1 IN 5
We all went through a lot last year—a pandemic, restrictions, loneliness, stress, anxiety, burnout. And all of it took a toll on our mental health. That’s why the Hope Network 1 in 5 Run Series – featuring the 1 in 5 Marathon Relay on August 27 – invites you to get moving, supporting your own mental health while supporting your community’s as well.
One in five adults will face a mental illness in any given year, and that numbers grows each year. Wherever you live, it’s all around you – and the numbers prove it:
– Depression is the #1 cause of illness and disability worldwide.
– Nearly 60% of mental illness goes untreated.
– Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among youth ages 10-24.
– Preliminary studies point to a significant rise in anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts resulting from recent current events.
When you run a 1 in 5 Series race, you address the issue head-on by joining a global community committed to turning the conversation about mental health issues into action. That’s what the 1 in 5 Series is all about – reducing the effects and the stigma of mental illness with every stride. Lace up with us to raise funds and awareness in honor of the 1 in 5.
