PRESS RELEASE – Get ready for an unforgettable day of fun, connection, and community spirit! The Youth Advisory Council (YAC), a passionate group of local high school students dedicated to making a difference, is thrilled to announce its upcoming “We Run As One” event.
This vibrant color run and community gathering will take place at the Fulton County Fairgrounds on June 8th starting at 2 pm.
“We Run As One” offers something for everyone. Participants can choose to take on the timed 5K race or enjoy a family-friendly, untimed 1-mile walk/run open to individuals ages 5 and up.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! If running isn’t your thing, all community members are still invited to join the party with FREE family-friendly games and activities, as well as engaging community resource tables.
The heart of “We Run As One” lies in its mission: to foster connection between young people and caring adults, raise awareness about the importance of youth mental health, and combat isolation.
YAC wants to raise awareness that mental health is a BIG DEAL for young people today, and they want everyone to know they’re not alone and that help is out there!
By sharing support, resources, and building strong community ties, the YAC aims to boost mental health for all youth in Fulton County.
Interested participants can find more race information and/or register online today by visiting https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/Wauseon/WeRunAsOne. Register by May 21 to receive a FREE We Run As One t-shirt.
