RUN IT! WALK IT! ENJOY IT! Make plans to join us!
We are super excited to be hosting the 2nd Annual Cupid Run for Hope 5K to support our local Mental Health Court, or MHC
program. As part of the Cherokee Judicial Mental Health Community Council, we aim to raise
awareness and support for our Cherokee Judicial Mental Health Court program with participants' needs.
Participants in the program have specific needs such as assistance with the cost of medications,
transportation, and any other basic needs participants may stand in need of. As part of the
Council we also provide a Christmas party for participants and would like to provide more fun
activities for the participants to learn and grow in their recovery.
5K COURSE
This course is a true classic. Having been in existence for nearly 40 years, the route takes advantage of Dellinger Park's vita trail which circumvents the park.
