5K for Mental Health Awareness

Central Lakes College and Crow Wing Energized co-host this event to bring awareness about Mental Health to community.  This event also donates a portion of the proceeds to a community mental health resource or non-profit and to a CLC designee (alternating between the Food Pantry or the Random Acts of Kindness Program that offers emergency funds to a student in crisis).

2025 will be our 4th annual race and proceeds will benefit Sharing Bread Soup Kitchen and the Central Lakes College Food Pantry.  The race will take place Saturday, April 26, 2025 @ 9 am.  The race starts and ends at Central Lakes College Brainerd campus.

The event also showcases the many mental health resources in our community through a resource fair.

Gather your friends, family, co-workers and make it a team building experience.
