Healing For All, Inc. 5K/10K

An annual charity run and walk offering both 5K and 10K distances through Gainesville's Westside park, hosted by the nonprofit Healing For All. Proceeds go directly toward providing therapy for underserved individuals, with the organization's mission focused on reducing mental-health care disparities among minority and low-income communities. The morning is family-friendly and open to runners and walkers of all ability levels: packet pickup opens at 8:30 a.m., the race steps off at 9 a.m., and the course wraps by noon. Beyond the run itself, the event is a community rallying point for mental-health access, drawing participants who want their miles to fund real counseling services locally. Bring water, comfortable shoes and friends or family; the flat park setting makes it approachable for first-timers and casual walkers as well as competitive runners.
