Event Description

Support and join SOAR's community service project to bring awareness to mental health issues in both youths and adults.  The goal of this virtual race is to get SOAR's athletes talking about mental illness, hearing from those that work within the field, or hearing from those that live with mental illness daily. We want our athletes and everyone open to talking about their issues with those who make them feel comfortable.  SOAR's coaches want all athletes to recognize that their peers may struggle with mental illness and to give them tools to support others.  This event is open to everyone, not just those in Corning or affiliated with SOAR; we are encouraging the entire community to support this cause.  Grab some friends and head on out the door for a 5k anytime between February 17-24th. Take a group picture along with a picture of one person’s watch and post the picture on the Facebook event page.  We will mail you a medal once you have completed the run and posted a picture.    All net proceeds, after paying for the medals and mailing of the medals, will go to the Still I Run- Runners for Mental Health Awareness.

You can learn more about Still I Run on their website or Facebook page: https://www.stilliruncommunity.com/ https://www.facebook.com/StillIRun/
