Stairs for Strides 5K

About the Event

Support NAMI Greater Wheeling and raise awareness for mental health by kicking off your morning at 9:00 AM with our STAIRS FOR STRIDES 5K or Family Friendly Mental Health Mile throughout East Wheeling! Each participant will receive a sweat head band, wristbands, & participation coin for doing the 5K or the 1 Mile.

For our Stairs for Strides 5K climb up 350 STAIRS to show that MENTAL + PHYSICAL = HEALTH! Our Family Friendly Mental Health Mile has no stairs.
