Join us in Ames for a 5K that does double duty—your participation directly funds free mental health services for underinsured folks in Story County while also supporting the Gap to Growth program, which gives counseling students real-world training experience. Every step you take helps tackle the heartbreaking reality that locals wait half a year for mental health care, and together we're working to strengthen both our community and the broader mental health system. Plus, you'll get a race T-shirt included with your registration!
