The race.

The Run for Mental Health 5K and 10K takes place September 12, 2026, in New York City. Participants choose from four wave start times beginning at 7:30 a.m., with waves filling on a first-come, first-served basis. The event welcomes all paces and ages (those under 18 must have a guardian) and allows participants to run or walk. Finishers receive a technical running shirt (shipped to a U.S. address), finisher's medal, towel or giveaway item, digital training pack, and online results certificate. Timing is optional; participants may track their own time using a personal app or request coordinator assistance. A virtual run option is available for those unable to attend in person. Registration closes when waves fill; waitlist signup is available once waves are full.
