Break the stigma associated with youth mental health illness at the 2022 Run for the Mind 5K, 1M, and Diaper Dash fundraiser to benefit NAMI DuPage and Tri-Town YMCA.
This highly anticipated event will be held on Saturday, June 25, 2022 at the DuPage County Fairgrounds in Wheaton, Illinois. One of the most important components in breaking the stigma associated with mental illness is ensuring that no person ever feels like they are alone. For this reason and many more, NAMI DuPage and Tri-Town YMCA have partnered for this vital fundraiser in our region and we hope that you too will demonstrate your commitment to ending the stigma by joining us as a participant.
We will be offering a 5K option for all ages, 1M run for kids 3 years and older (under 9 must be accompanied by an adult), and a Diaper Dash for kids 3 and under. Enjoy a flat, paved, winding course through the scenic natural areas around the DuPage County Fairgrounds and the DuPage County Government Center. The 5K route is USATF certified.
A commemorative t-shirt will be provided to participants in the 1-mile and 5K events and baby bibs will be provided to those registered for the Diaper Dash. Light refreshments will be available at post-race recovery area.
In the event of inclement and/or severe weather, this event will be cancelled and there will not be a rain date. No refunds, no exchanges.

General Information
Race Timing
We use disposable chip timing tag that runners receive at packet pick up on their race bibs. It is lightweight and remains attached to the race bib.
Runners MUST wear their race bibs on the front of their clothing in order to be timed accurately. The bib cannot be covered, holding it in your hand or putting it in your pocket will NOT read the chip. Do not bend the chip. Smart watches such as Garmin and smart phones can interfere with the timing chip frequency. Please do not adjust your watch or phone as you cross the finish line and come through the chute. Disputes for times on Smart watches and smart phones will not be taken into consideration.
For participants that are walking or riding in a stroller/wheelchair, for your safety, please lineup towards the back of group.
