About the Event

Join the Arnold Air Society for our annual Service Project: Running for Suicide Awareness 5K/10K, an event dedicated to raising awareness for suicide prevention and promoting mental health within our community.

This event honors those we’ve lost, supports those who continue to struggle, and reminds us that no one runs alone. Participants of all fitness levels are welcome to walk, jog, or run in solidarity and support of the cause.

All proceeds and participation efforts go toward promoting suicide awareness, resilience, and connection among our cadets, veterans, and community members.

Come together with us as we run for hope, strength, and life.
