PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH! Sign up as an individual or with friends to run or walk all night with us as we raise awareness and funds for mental health in our local community. Funds raised will support mental health services for: UNC student athletes (offered through UNC Athletics Mental Health and Performance Psychology program - "MHPP"), Athletes (offered through The Mind Over Muscle Foundation - founded by former UNC running back Elijah Green), UNC students (offered through UNC Counseling and Psychological Services - "CAPS"), and The unhoused in Orange County (offered through the Street Outreach, Harm Reduction & Deflection team - "SOHRAD") We'll be following a roughly one-mile loop route along sidewalks all night long. The route starts in the University Baptist Church parking lot on W. Franklin, goes to the corner at S. Columbia, takes S. Columbia down to W. Cameron, W. Cameron to Kenan, and Kenan back up to W. Franklin. It's four right turns crossing no major streets--the simplest route you'll find! The church parking lot will serve as base camp for all participants. There they can take breaks between laps, rest, re-fuel, receive aid, or enjoy some of the entertainment and activities that will take place throughout the night. This is a "fun run"! Participants set their own goals for how much distance they want to cover throughout the night. The main purpose is to keep going and do as much as you can to raise awareness and funds for mental health. Do you have to stay all night? No! Participants are free to leave at any point, but we do ask that they return on Sunday morning for a celebration breakfast in the church Great Hall to enjoy a well-earned meal, hear from the organizations benefiting from funds raised, and receive their special participant awards!
