Event Description

Join the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention NYC Chapter in a Virtual Spring 5K!

How to Complete Your Virtual Race

May is Mental Health Month, so lace up your sneakers and run, walk, jog, or do anything to get moving between Saturday, April 24 - Saturday, May 1 to help raise awareness and funds in support of AFSP NYC. Your 5K can take place wherever you'd like — in your neighborhood, a local park, or anywhere in the country...that's the best part about this virtual race! 

All registrants will receive a complimentary t-shirt and race bib, with the option to add-on a custom AFSP medal for an additional fee. Register by March 24th to guarantee that your shirt and bib will arrive before race day! Registrations after March 24th may result in a post-race delivery.

After the race, share your 5K journey on social media! Be sure to tag @afspnyc and use the hashtags #AFSP5K and #RunIntoMentalHealthMonth. 

You can also upload your 5K time to the "Results" menu tab to share with other race participants, if you wish.

Strava Users: Be sure to add the hashtag #RunIntoMentalHealthMonth to your activity description, and request to join "AFSP Run Club" — AFSP NYC's running community.

**Proceeds raised will go directly to supporting AFSP's mission of saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide**
