Join us on May 3, 2026 at the Boulder Reservoir for Emerge 5K, a family-friendly walk & run supporting youth mental health and suicide prevention in our community. Whether you are walking in honor of someone you love, running for a cause close to your heart, fundraising with friends, or simply showing up to support local youth, you are welcome here.
Emerge is more than a race. It is a community gathering rooted in hope, love, and connection.
Rise Against Suicide has funded more than 20,000 therapy appointments and served over 2,000 local youth. In 2026, we are setting our biggest goal yet. We aim to raise $180,000 to continue removing financial barriers and providing free, life saving therapy for kids who otherwise would not have access to care.
When you show up, you are supporting the kids who mow your lawns, bag your groceries, sit next to your children in class, and lifeguard at your neighborhood pool. These are our kids. They are part of our daily lives. And they deserve access to care without cost standing in the way.
Along the course, butterfly memorials honor the lives we carry. Music fills the air. Families gather. Friends reconnect. Stories are shared. We hold space for grief. We celebrate resilience. We stand together in the belief that every young person deserves support and someone who will listen.
Your steps matter. Your voice matters. Your fundraising could change a life.
When you register, you can create a personal fundraising page and turn your miles into impact. Invite your neighbors. Rally your coworkers. Bring your kids. Every dollar raised helps provide therapy for youth in crisis right here in our community.
However you show up, you belong here.
Bring your people. Bring your purpose.
Together. We Rise.
