One Mile Challenge 2026

Our annual One Mile Challenge is simple but impactful: walk, run, or roll one mile each day of September. OMC is a virtual event, and you will self-monitor your progress. Make your mile happen wherever you are or want to go, whenever works for you. OMC is a powerful way to raise awareness around mental health for those who serve — and to help fund our free programs for guardians & families.
