From the Organizer

Please join Voices for HOPE for our 2nd annual color run in support of suicide prevention and awareness.  This will be a colorful and meaningful 5K event dedicated to spreading hope, breaking stigma, and supporting mental health in our community.  This untimed, family-friendly run/walk welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels. Along the course in beautiful Brandt-Quirk Park, you will be showered in bright, colorful powder!  

More than just a run, this event is a celebration of life, resilience, and community.  Together, we will honor those we have lost, support those who are struggling, and remind everyone that they are not alone. Proceeds will go directly toward suicide prevention and awareness efforts in Jefferson County. 

Before and after the event, please visit our supportive VENDORS where you will find local resources and other community information.  And don't forget to get in on the FREE RAFFLE - each vendor has a ticket waiting for you!  The more vendors you visit, the more chances to win!
