NAMI DuPage Run for the Mind

Saturday, September 27, 2025 · 8:00 AM – 8:00 AM

This year, we’re excited to team up with NAMIWalks for our annual 5K Run/Walk at the beautiful St. James Farm Forest Preserve in Warrenville! The day begins with an opening ceremony, followed by the 5K Run/Walk on a scenic, USATF certified course—strollers are welcome, but please no pets except service animals. After the 5K, get ready for the vibrant 1-Mile Color Run, co-hosted with the DuPage Prevention Leadership Team, and led by local high school students as part of our Anti-Stigma Campaign. It’s the perfect way to add a fun splash of color to your day! All proceeds from this event will go directly to supporting mental health programs and services in our community. Your participation helps raise awareness and provide crucial support to individuals and families affected by mental illness. Don’t miss out on this exciting event – it’s sure to be a blast while making a meaningful difference in the mental health community!
