Join Us for the 2025 Run for Hope – “Follow the Road to Hope”
Saturday, September 13, 2025, in the Town of Trail Creek, Indiana 

Lace up your running shoes and be part of something truly meaningful. The 5K Run for Hope is more than just a race—it’s a powerful movement to raise suicide awareness and eliminate the stigma around mental health in LaPorte County.

This year’s theme, “Follow the Road to Hope,” invites our community to come together in strength, support, and solidarity. Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, your presence helps shine a light on mental health issues and sends a clear message: there is hope, and no one has to struggle alone.

Register by August 1, 2025, to guarantee your exclusive event T-shirt and finisher medal!

Since 1969, Swanson Center has been dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive mental and behavioral health services to the people of LaPorte County. With your support, we can continue this mission—and create a future where mental health is talked about openly, supported fully, and cared for completely.

Let’s run with purpose. Let’s walk with hope. Let’s break the silence—together.
