SpeakUp 5k

The SpeakUp5k is a community-focused 5K run/walk held annually at Byrd Park in Richmond, Virginia, designed to raise awareness and support for teen mental health. This flagship event features a lively atmosphere with fun zones, music, bubbles, and inspirational activities, making it more than just a race—it's an experience. Participants can join in person or virtually, completing the 3.1-mile course at their convenience.

The event includes team meet-up areas, starting corrals organized by pace, and a post-race party with snacks, music, and vendors. The race promotes community engagement and aims to erase the stigma surrounding mental health. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
