Wednesday, October 4, 2017

The annual Mind Your Health 5K Run/Walk is set, rain or shine, Friday, Oct. 6, starting at 5:30 p.m. at the DePaus Nature Park Welcome Center.

All community members are welcome and encouraged to race, run or just have a beautiful walk to help support a worthy cause.

Mental Health America of Putnam County (MHAoPC) has joined forces with the DePauw University chapter of Exercise is Medicine (EIM) to emphasize the connection between a person’s physical and mental health and encourage everyone to take care of themselves.

MHAoPC promotes mental wellness while working to erase the stigma of mental illness in Putnam County through education, support services and prevention activities. EIM is an organization that promotes the importance of physical activity and advocating exercise as an integral part of health and daily life.

There will be prizes for first place finishers. Registration starts at 5 p.m. followed by the race at 5:30.

Registration is $25 for adultes and free for children. All proceeds stay in Putnam County.

Organizers are also encouraging participants to enjoy First Friday in downtown Greencastle once they’ve completed the run.
