Why We Run

In 2008, Jim Miller, an avid runner, a lifelong Mariemont resident, a loyal friend, a loving husband and father, died by suicide.  Jim was an amazing man who always put others before himself. The Warrior Run was started in October 2008 by a group of Jim’s friends to commemorate his life. 


75% of all mental illness originates before the age of 24. It takes the average individual 8-10 years to receive help and sadly 70% of those that need treatment never receive it. Two of the largest barriers for those that need treatment and don't receive it are lack of education on the signs and symptoms of mental illness and stigma. It is imperative in order for us to end suicide to start education and this conversation as early as possible.

This year marks the 15th annual Warrior Run 5K race, and we hope you will join us to celebrate this monumental occasion!

Every dollar raised through the Warrior Run supports evidence-based mental health education in local schools. Past funding from this race supported Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center to expand their suicide prevention program, Adapt for Life. Our dream is that we can expand mental health programming to all local schools so that no one fights this fight alone. Thank you for lacing up to help and joining us for the 15th annual event!

Prizes will be awarded to the team with the most participants and the team that raises the most money.
