Prince William County announces 5K walk for mental health awareness

PWC wants to educate, advocate and dispel myths and stigma around mental illness. Take out your running or walking shoes and join us in this county-wide event in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. We will be walking along grassy, gravel and paved terrain at Locust Shade Park. You will be directed to walk one of two paths: a rigorous or easy path and there are plenty of exits along the way.

You will also find a host of community programs on site sharing resources that are available to inform and assist those in need.

Music, food trucks and other fun activities will also be part of this event.
