Description

Thank you to our Title Sponsor, First Bank Elk River, for supporting our 11th Annual Event!

The Thumbs Up 5K & 10K run, walk, and bike event began in October 2014 after several community members lost a loved one to suicide. The event hopes to support those families who have lost a loved one to suicide and to get the conversation started about mental health, with the hopes that it would allow a safe space for others to seek help.

Regardless of how you choose to be involved, we are honored to welcome all new and returning participants to join together as a community in support and memory of our loved ones.
