Supporting Mental Health. Strengthening Communities. Steps Toward Hope 5K brings individuals, families, friends, businesses, organizations, and communities together to walk, run, raise awareness, and support the mission of StrongSteps Behavioral Health Foundation.
Steps Toward Hope is a signature StrongSteps community event bringing people together in support of mental health, hope, recovery, connection, and stronger communities.
Some walk for themselves. Some run for someone they love. Some participate in honor of a person who changed their life, or in memory of someone they have lost.
Whatever brings you to the starting line, you belong here. One community. Many stories. Thousands of steps toward hope.
You don't have to be a runner to take Steps Toward Hope. Walk at your own pace alongside friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors.
Ready to take on the course? Register as a runner and complete the 5K while helping raise awareness and support for mental health.
Bring your people together. Families, friends, coworkers, schools, clubs and community groups can participate and fundraise as a team.
Already know someone participating? Find their team and take your steps together.
Turn your participation into an even greater impact. Create a personal fundraising page, set a goal, and invite your community to support you.
You don't have to walk or run to make an impact. Volunteers help make Steps Toward Hope possible before, during, and after the event.
