Putnam County Suicide Awareness & Prevention

The 2025 Putnam County Suicide Awareness & Prevention event is a community-focused 5K run/walk held in Ottawa, Ohio, at 1490 E 2nd St. This fun and supportive event aims to foster hope by reducing the stigma around mental illness, depression, and anxiety while raising awareness of suicide prevention resources. Participants come together to support those affected by suicide and its impact on families and the community.

Funds raised are reinvested locally to sustain year-round prevention efforts. The event promotes a positive atmosphere of unity and healing, encouraging community engagement through physical activity and shared purpose. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
