Mindful Miles – Bowling Green, VA 2026

Step Forward for Mental Health Awareness Join us in May for Mindful Miles, a 5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk dedicated to supporting Mental Health Awareness Month. This event is more than just a race — it’s a movement to bring our community together, break the stigma surrounding mental health, and remind one another that you are not alone. Whether you run or walk, every step you take helps spark important conversations, foster understanding, and promote emotional well-being in Caroline County and our surrounding area. Together, we can create a safe, supportive space where people feel seen, heard, and encouraged to seek help when they need it most. Join us in honoring the strength it takes to keep moving forward — for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for our community. Lace up, breathe deep, and take a mindful mile toward hope, healing, and awareness. School Competition Information The YMCA will be awarding $250 to the Caroline County Public School with the most participation. Show your school
