About the Event

Join us on Sunday, May 31 at 9 a.m. for an unforgettable run or walk through the heart of Downtown Columbus, all with the incredible support of our host, the Columbus Crew; founding partner, Nationwide; and presenting sponsor, Bread Financial.

Start and finish your race at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field, soak in the electric atmosphere, and be part of something bigger than the finish line. Can't make it to Columbus? No worries! Virtual participation lets you run or walk from wherever you are.

This isn't just a 5K—it's a movement. Together, we're raising awareness and funds to advance the mission of The Kids Mental Health Foundation: to provide free, expert-created mental health resources to support kids.
