On October 13, Ciudad Cayalá will host a groundbreaking event for Guatemalan society: the 1st Mental Health Run. This event aims to raise awareness about the importance of mental well-being, a topic that has gained increasing relevance in recent years due to the rise in mental health issues both in Guatemala and worldwide.
A Run for Everyone
The race is designed to welcome participants of all ages and fitness levels, offering three distances:
🏃 1 km – Perfect for young children or those who prefer to walk.
🏃 5 km – A great challenge for casual runners.
🏃 10 km – For experienced runners looking for a greater challenge.
With a donation of Q135.00 per participant, this event not only promotes physical activity and well-being but also supports a crucial cause: mental health awareness and support in Guatemala.
Mental Health: An Urgent Issue
In Guatemala, as in many parts of the world, mental health issues are often overlooked or faced with stigma. Depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders have increased significantly in the past decade, affecting people of all ages. This event seeks to break the stigma, promote open conversations about mental health, and foster a culture of support and empathy for those facing these challenges.
