Event Description

Race Day: Saturday, September 10, 2022

Join us on Saturday, September 10, 2022, for the inaugural Skyland Trail 5K Run/Walk to support mental health treatment! Virtual participation options are available. Participants are encouraged to create a team with family, friends, or co-workers. This family-friendly event is open to all. Youth ages 17 and older must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Your participation will support the evidence-based treatment programs at Skyland Trail and help remove financial barriers for families in need. The starting line for the race will be at the J. Rex Fuqua Campus for adolescents. Young people in particular are experiencing depression and anxiety and seeking mental health services at alarming rates. The U.S. surgeon general has warned that young people are facing “devastating” mental health effects as a result of the challenges experienced by their generation, including the pandemic. Raising funds through the Skyland Trail 5k will make a difference in the lives of teens and their families.

We hope to see you there!
