MIND SPACE RUNNING SERIES — Main Description
3 Races. 3 Stories. 1 Purpose.
The Mind Space Running Series is a three-race journey built around one mission: running for our mental health.
Each race represents a different part of the mental health journey. We begin by slowing down and making space to breathe. Then, we face the thoughts, fears, and challenges within our minds. Finally, we end by remembering that even through uncertainty, there is always light to be found.
Sunset Sessions 5K — Slow Down. Breathe. Reset. Monsters In My Mind 5K — Face It. Feel It. Move Through It. Light The Way 5K — You Are Always the Light Within Uncertainty.
This is more than a traditional race series. Each event is designed as a full community experience featuring movement, music, local vendors, unique race themes, and meaningful reminders about mental health.
Whether you run, walk, or simply move at your own pace, there is a place for you here.
Three finish lines. One community. One journey forward.
