‘Glow Your Mind’ Run/Walk To Be Held Sept. 30

The Suicide Prevention Alliance of Chautauqua County’s Glow Your Mind 5K Run/Walk will be held Saturday, Sept. 30, at 6:01 p.m. at Jackson Taylor Park, 10th and Washington streets, Jamestow.

Registration will begin at 5:01 p.m.

The original race set for early July was postponed due to safety concerns. The new location will prevent runners from using city streets to run or walk with the route designed to keep racers in the park. The start time is one hour before the expected sunset, so participants will have enough time to complete the 5K in daylight. Race day check-in will be available from 5:15 p.m. A Glow Party will commence directly following the race.

The Glow Run raises awareness of and generates funding for suicide prevention efforts in Chautauqua County to further support outreach, awareness, prevention, and training. To register, visit runsignup.com or visit the Suicide Prevention Alliance Facebook page to find course details and additional information. Online registration will be open until noon on the day of the event. All participants that register by Sept. 21 qualify for a free race event shirt.

Trackqua will provide this year’s race management. The glow run is a collaboration of the Suicide Prevention Alliance of Chautauqua County, Chautauqua Tapestry, and Chautauqua County Department of Mental Hygiene. Thank you to our additional sponsors; Media One Group, The Resource Center, Fresh Press Studios, The Sprinkle Cone, and Combat Addiction CHQ.

Those who don’t want to walk or run but want to contribute can volunteer by emailing Carri Raynor at raynorc@chqgov.com.
