On Saturday, October 11th, Lafayette College, the Easton community, and others from the Lehigh Valley area will gather on Lafayette's campus for a 2.3 mile* run/walk beginning at 11:00 am. After the run, more activities will take place in Lafayette's Farinon Student Center to raise money for suicide prevention efforts. The goals of the run are to raise awareness of the issue of suicide within the community, fight the stigma attached to suicide, and raise money for community organizations that promote good mental health and wellness habits and work towards suicide prevention.

*A one mile walking course will also be available for those who do not want to complete the entire 2.3 mile course.

 

Those interested may register by mail by printing out the forms at www.activemindslafayette.com or in person the day of the event between 10:00 am and 11:00 am. Participants can run/walk as teams or as individuals. A registration fee of $10 will register you for the run ($5 for students, $7 for Lafayette faculty and staff), allow you to enter the events after the run, and supply you with refreshments. Individuals who do not want to participate in the run can still enter the after-run activities. Food will be available for lunch.
