Making Strides for Mental Health

Join Green Country Behavioral Health Services on Saturday, May 2, 2026, for the Making Strides for Mental Health race in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Offering both a 5K and a 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk, this event champions mental health awareness and celebrates recovery during Mental Health Awareness Month. Whether you're a seasoned runner or looking for a supportive community walk, the race fosters a welcoming environment for all participants, with proceeds directly benefiting community outreach and services for mental health.

The race kicks off and concludes at the scenic Depot Green in Downtown Muskogee's vibrant Depot District. The 5K follows a USATF Certified Course, known for its generally flat and accessible terrain through the heart of the city. Your effort will be accurately recorded with chip timing provided by I:40 Race Service, and top finishers won't go unnoticed. Medals are awarded to the top three in every five-year age group, spanning up to 80 and over, while trophies await the top three overall male and female competitors.

Prepare for comfortable running conditions, as typical race day weather in early May presents highs around 75°F and lows around 53°F, with only a 20% chance of precipitation. This community-focused event is more than just a race; it's an opportunity to make a tangible difference and show your support for mental wellness in a festive atmosphere. Secure your spot and a guaranteed race shirt by registering before April 30th.
