Don't Struggle In Silence 5k

Join us for an inspiring journey of fitness and solidarity at the "Don't Struggle In Silence" 5K run/walk! This inaugural event isn't just a race; it's a powerful statement in support of mental health and suicide prevention, born from a personal tragedy that revealed the debilitating stigma around mental health. As we lace up on April 13th, 2024, along the picturesque Elizabeth River Trail, every step we take will help fund the life-changing work of the Sarah Michelle Peterson Foundation. Not only will participants bask in the triumph of crossing the finish line and receiving a finisher medal, but registering early ensures you snag a commemorative t-shirt as well. Post-race festivities include an energetic after party at Benchtop Brewing Company, with a unique brunch pizza from Sour Street Pizza, and drinks that contribute to the cause. Let's break the silence together—because no one deserves to suffer alone.
