About the Outrun the Stigma 5k
This race is organized around mental health awareness, put on by The PopPsych! Foundation. The course is a standard road distance, open to runners and walkers at any pace, and the whole event is built around that mission rather than competition. Port Arthur gets the race, and the cause shapes the atmosphere from the start line forward.
Packet pickup is available before race day. The start has a cutoff, so there is a real finish window, but it is generous enough to accommodate most paces. If you cannot make it in person, a virtual option lets you run on your own time and still participate in the event.
