LiveWell 5K Walk/Run/Roll & Celebration

This LiveWell 5K Walk/Run/Roll & Celebration is hosted by LiveWell which is an initiative of the Pruitt Center for Mindfulness & Well-being at UW-Superior. LiveWell is a holistic mental health project created to support those who are living, working, and attending school in Douglas County and the greater Twin Ports area. We work to identify and create innovative ways to address the current mental health crisis in our community. One way we do this is through activities which foster connection and prevent social isolation. As a part of this initiative, we are excited to host our third annual 5K, promoting connection & advocating for mental wellness in our community.

This event will be held at Barker’s Island Festival Park on Thursday, August 13th, 2026. Registration closes August 6th, 2026 at 11:59pm. This event is FREE and open to the public.
