Knox County Suicide Prevention 10k

Knox County Suicide Prevention Coalition hosts its 15th annual 5K/10K walk and run at Ariel Foundation Park in Mount Vernon, Ohio. The inclusive event welcomes walkers, runners, dogs, and strollers of all ages to participate in a suicide-awareness fundraiser. The course runs through Ariel Foundation Park, with race-day packet pickup at the Kiwanis Pavilion and parking at the Tower.

Proceeds support suicide-prevention education and connecting at-risk individuals with resources. A remembrance Memorial at the park’s tower and bridge honors loved ones, with participants invited to share photos. Swag includes a 2025 participant medal; entry is $35 for either distance.
