2026 Mental Health in Motion

Every step counts at Mental Health in Motion 2026 - a community event that pairs an active morning outdoors with real impact for local mental health programs.

Taking place Saturday, June 6, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the scenic grounds of Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care (500 Church Street, Penetanguishene), the event welcomes participants of all ages and abilities. Registration is now open.

Designed for both seasoned runners and families looking for a fun, active outing, Mental Health in Motion features a 5K and 10K run, along with walk and bike options, making it easy for everyone to take part.

Beyond the course, there’s plenty to enjoy. Families can check out the Kids Zone, featuring inflatables, a craft station, and other activities, along with a BBQ and community booths to bring people together in a fun, welcoming atmosphere.

All proceeds from the event support Waypoint’s Community Mental Health Programs, helping expand access to care and resources in key areas:

• Child, youth, and family mental health 
• Addictions recovery 
• Indigenous mental health 
• 2SLGBTQIA+ mental health

Whether you’re running, walking, biking, or cheering from the sidelines, every participant plays a role in strengthening mental health care for everyone in our region.
