_ The 2018 Hope Network's One in Five Marathon Relay:
“On the night of June 8, 2018, join us under the stars in support of the one in five adults who face a mental illness. The third annual Hope Network One in Five Marathon Relay at Millennium Park will raise money for early intervention programs, along with services for those currently facing severe mental illness. The Community Walk will begin at 5:30pm, followed by the Marathon Relay beginning at 8pm. There will be awards, live music, and beverages in the pavilion. Untreated mental illness is the most underrated health and social epidemic worldwide, but with your participation, we can make strides toward meaningful change. Register, make a donation, or become a volunteer at 1in5relay.com.” A virtual race will be available as well. Sign up, run a 5K on the day of the event to show your support and run anywhere and receive a medal!
The race will be held at Millennium Park near the pavilion. For the relay aspect, each runner will run 5 miles, with the fifth runner running 6.2 to finish up the marathon and emphasize the One in Five statistics.
