On Sunday, September 20, 2026, Clement Park in Littleton, Colorado will host the 25th Annual Second Wind Fund Walk/Run. For over two decades, this community-driven event has been a beacon of hope and support for youth struggling with mental health challenges across the state. The day promises to be a celebration of resilience and unity as participants join forces through running or walking in the scenic Clement Park surroundings. Since its inception, Second Wind Fund (SWF) has worked tirelessly to remove financial barriers and social stigma that prevent young people from accessing vital mental health services. This year’s event will not only honor past achievements but also lay the groundwork for continued support over the next quarter-century. Whether you choose to run in the 5K race or simply walk alongside friends, family members, and fellow advocates, each step taken contributes to a larger mission of ensuring that every young person can access mental health care. The event is designed to foster connections among participants while raising awareness about the critical need for accessible support systems. The morning kicks off at 7:00 am with registration opening, followed by an energizing start time of 8:00 am for the run/walk and entertainment lineup that will keep spirits high throughout the day. At 9:00 am, attendees gather to hear inspiring stories from those who have benefited directly from SWF’s initiatives, culminating in a poignant dove release ceremony symbolizing freedom and hope. Beyond the physical race itself, there are numerous ways to get involved. Participants can create virtual fundraising pages or join peer-to-peer campaigns aimed at raising funds for Colorado youth facing mental health crises. Top fundraisers will be celebrated with exclusive prizes from Second Wind Fund, rewarding their dedication in making a tangible difference. The event also features special awards and recognition categories designed to highlight the spirit of community involvement. From team challenges to more fun-filled activities that encourage engagement throughout the day, these elements aim to make this year’s celebration both memorable and impactful. Join us as we mark 25 years of Second Wind Fund's commitment to transforming lives through mental health care access. Together, let’s build a future filled with hope for all Colorado youth.
