About this race

Join us for the Don’t Run Alone 5K on October 10th, World Mental Health Awareness Day!

PUT A LITTLE GOOD INTO THIS WORLD

You can join us from anywhere in the world for the ZPF Don't Run Alone 5K!

Taking place on October 10th in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Day, we invite you to run, walk, or even stroll while pushing a little one to help support a cause Zac cared deeply about: men's mental health & suicide prevention.

In our commitment to continue writing the chapters Zac is no longer able to, we welcome you to register for the 3.1-mile event, tailor your fundraising page, then share its link with friends, family, & others in your network who would be interested in donating and / or participating.
