Race shirt from the very first Wasatch Wellness Run in 2006.
Tomorrow (August 6) is the 11th Annual Wasatch Wellness Run and Family Fun Fair!
The first race was put on by our Wasatch House program as part of a fundraising effort to build a new building. The new building has materialized, is beautiful, and the Race has grown to be on ongoing annual event!
The primary purpose of the event is to raise community awareness of mental health, available resources, and WMH programs. Secondarily, it is a fundraiser for “Friends of WMH” and any money raised from the race is used for programs, activities, and equipment to enhance the quality of our treatment programs that would not be funded by any other source.
This is a high quality family friendly event that appeals to both competitive and recreational runners. The Family Fun Fair has games and activities for the entire family (Angry Birds, Fishpond, Face painting, Snow Cones, Popcorn, and more).
Same day registration is available but plan to be there EARLY if you register the day of the race. Registration starts at 7:00 am at Mount Timpanogos Park in Provo Canyon. The 10k race starts at 8:00 and the 5k and 1 mile funwalk/run start at 10 minute intervals after that.
