From the Organizer

Lace up and join Forward Together this World Mental Health Day (Oct. 10, 2026) for a powerful 5K filled with purpose, movement, and community spirit! The 5K run/walk will kick off at Bank Run Metro Park (1570 Rohr Rd, Lockbourne, OH 43137) at 8 am (Kids Fun Run at 7:45 am). We are coming together on the new park's paved path as mental health warriors and allies to raise awareness, share local resources, and show that no one walks alone. This isn’t just a race, it's a celebration of hope and inclusion. Sign up today and be a part of our inaugural event with us - in person or virtually!

Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Please reach out to Hope Short, Race Director at forwardtogethergrovecityohio@outlook.com for more information.
