Mental Health Matters 5K and Fun Run - VA
Available distances
About
Mental Health Matters 5K and Fun Run - VA is held in Fredericksburg, Virginia, on May 1, 2027. Two formats are offered: a half-mile (800 m) fun run at 8:30 AM and a 5K (3.1 miles) at 8:45 AM. No elevation gain is listed.
Having the short fun run go first makes this an easy morning to bring children along: they get their own start, then you head out fifteen minutes later on the 5K. For the longer distance, six to eight weeks of running three times a week is enough to finish comfortably, and there is no need to make any of those runs hard. Anyone hoping to race it should keep the warm-up short so it does not run into the fun run traffic, and aim for even effort across the three miles.
