For the past nine years, CertaPro of the Main Line has been the proud sponsor of a special 5K race, one that brings the community together to support access to high-quality mental health care.
Miles for Mental Health benefits Council for Relationships’ (CFR) programs, including Operation Home & Healing, helping make counseling available to Veterans, active-duty service members, and their families, as well as youth and families in the region. The goal is simple: reduce barriers to care and ensure compassionate, expert support is there when it’s needed most. Every registration helps CFR provide mental health care for Veterans, children, and families across the Philadelphia region. It also supports the kind of care that sets CFR apart: helping people strengthen not only themselves, but the relationships that shape their daily lives.
The race takes place at Bala Cynwyd Park along the scenic Cynwyd Heritage Trail, offering an out-and-back course that’s welcoming for runners and walkers alike. Participants can register for the 5K or the 1-mile walk, and supporters can also get involved by sponsoring the event or purchasing the official race shirt designed by Philadelphia artist Amberella.
“At CertaPro, we believe in lifting others—and this event brings that to life. Raising over $500,000 is something we’re proud of, but the real impact is bringing people together around a shared purpose, especially in a time when unity matters so much,” said event sponsor and CertaPro of the Main Line CEO, Chris Drucquer.
Whether you’re chasing a personal record or showing up for a relaxed walk with friends and family, every step helps expand counseling services for people who need support. Miles for Mental Health is a chance to get moving, connect with your community, and directly support mental health services. This is a welcoming and family friendly event. Come on your own, bring your kids, invite a friend, or start a team. However you show up, you will be part of something meaningful.
Mark your calendar for April 26 and join CertaPro and Council for Relationships in making mental health care more accessible—one mile at a time.
