Mind Your Health 5K

I went with a friend because I got a free entry from Unilocal and used the $ 5 off code for her — this was a pretty low-​key 5K, which was actually pretty nice. There was a lot of parking and it only took 20 minutes to get there from DC. The registration was easy and super-​fast. We got a great Unilocal bag with some Unilocal swag and information about mental health, including some from the Veteran Network. I really liked that the run incorporated vets and had some great military participation — including for the warm-​up prior to the run. The run itself was a nice run through the park (which was very pretty) — there were some small hills, which made for a good challenge. It was definitely very family-​friendly — lots of kids, strollers, and tons of dogs. Overall, the run was nice and for a great cause. I especially enjoyed hearing the story behind the mental health bell –

I won a free registration via Unilocal to partake in the race. Although it was a hot day, it was sunny and there was a great turnout. The race was dog and stroller friendly, so I was able to bring my pup out to have a great time to walk for a great cause. There was plenty of parking at the park, and the park itself had great trails.
