The huMAN 5K: Run to Feel Human.

📅 Saturday, June 13, 2026

📍 [Location TBD]

🧠 Men’s Mental Health Week

The huMAN 5K is more than a race—it’s a movement.

Held during Men’s Mental Health Week, this community 5K brings people together to break silence, reduce stigma, and raise critical funds for men’s mental health programming through The huMAN Project.

Men are often taught to endure quietly. This run creates space to move, feel, and connect—for ourselves, for the men we love, and for those who never felt safe asking for help.

🏃🏽‍♂️ What to Expect

A timed 5K run/walk open to all fitness levels

A powerful Opening Circle grounding the day in intention

A community-built huMAN Wall, where participants share one word they’re running from and one word they’re running toward

Post-race connection, music, hydration, and resources

Meaningful race swag with messages that matter

This is not about speed—it’s about showing up.

💙 Why You’re Running

Proceeds support The huMAN Project, a nonprofit dedicated to fostering emotional awareness, healing, and connection among men and boys through free groups, youth programs, and community events.

Every step helps fund:

Free men’s support groups

Youth emotional literacy programming

Community healing and outreach initiatives

👥 Run Solo or Join a Team

Participants are encouraged to form teams—gyms, barbershops, families, workplaces, faith groups, and community organizations are all welcome. Team fundraising is a powerful way to multiply impact.

🎽 Registration Includes

Official huMAN 5K race shirt

Timed race bib

Access to all event activities

The opportunity to run for something bigger than yourself

🧠 This Event Is For Everyone

While centered on men’s mental health, all genders and ages are welcome. If you believe men deserve space to feel, heal, and be fully human—this run is for you.

📞 Support Matters

If you or someone you love is struggling, help is available.

Run to feel.

Run to heal.

Run to remind men they’re not alone.

Race for the Future is Mercy Health Services’ inaugural 5K and 1-mile walk, created to help fuel the Mercy Forever 150th Anniversary Campaign and the We Are 150 employee engagement initiative. The Mercy Forever campaign celebrates 150 years of compassionate care while investing in the next generation of healing services for our community.

Taking place at the Maryland Zoo, this community-wide event brings together patients, caregivers, employees, corporate partners, families, and friends to move with purpose, honoring Mercy’s legacy and ensuring that the mission of Mercy lives on forever.

Proceeds from the Race for the Future will support critical programs and initiatives that expand access to care, advance medical innovation, and strengthen the communities we serve. Every step taken represents a commitment to Mercy’s mission: to heal, to comfort, and to serve those who need us most.

For those who cannot join us in person, we invite you to participate virtually and share in the magic of race day from your own backyard!

Whether you are running the 5K, walking the one-mile course, or participating virtually, the Race for the Future is an invitation to be part of something bigger — a celebration of service, partnership, and 150 years of impact in Baltimore and beyond.

Held every year on Father's Day Weekend, the 5K brings the community together on GBMC’s campus in support of our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. GBMC’s NICU, one of the largest in the area, cares for more than 400 babies annually and is nationally recognized for groundbreaking research in neonatal intensive care. In 2021, GBMC opened a Special Care Nursery as an extension of the NICU for newborns who need additional support and care prior to discharge.

Join the Casey Cares Foundation for our 17th Annual 5K Run/1-Mile Walk on August 1st! Proceeds from the race will support programs for families with critically ill children. The chip-timed 3.1 mile run/1-mile walk will be held at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. Participants will receive a tech shirt, race bib and finisher medal. We'll have awards for the largest team, most spirited team and top fundraising team, so share with your family, friends and sign up today!

Tech T-Shirt Deadline - July 17th! (Note - children 8 years and under do not receive a race shirt.) Registration for the race is open through August 1st, and both individuals and teams are encouraged to register.

For guests who would like to stay and enjoy the Zoo exhibits after the race, we are offering add-on Zoo admission tickets for $15 per person.
