Welcome to the Light the Way 5K: Walk On Rock On for Mental Wellness, benefitting The Evie Effect.
This event is dedicated to promoting mental wellness, community support, and hope. This year, we are proud to introduce the dragonfly as our new symbol. The dragonfly represents transformation, adaptability, and self-realization, embodying the spirit of personal growth and the journey towards mental wellness. Join us for an evening of fun and connection as we come together to illuminate our individual and collective paths towards well-being. This event is more than just a run; it is an opportunity to support each other and highlight the importance of mental well-being.
After the 5K, enjoy our exciting after-run concert and speaker sessions. The concert will feature live music performances, with inspiring speakers sharing messages of hope and resilience between sets. This concert is free and open to everyone, whether you participated in the race or not. Immerse yourself in the music, the powerful stories, and connect with others who share a passion for mental wellness and community support.
Delicious eats will be available from local food vendors, so come hungry and ready to explore our sponsor booths to learn more about organizations dedicated to supporting our community.
First 250 5K finishers will receive a finisher medal, and all Kids Dash participants will receive a medal. You can order your registration with or without a t-shirt, but please note that the cutoff to register with a t-shirt is March 10th.
The Evie Effect’s mission is to change the public’s perception of mental wellness and suicide by fostering a community of advocacy, awareness, and education. Our vision is a community where mental well-being flourishes and suicide prevention is a priority.
