Rise Against Suicide’s Emerge 5K

Start a team. Walk for someone you love.

Fundraise for youth suicide prevention.

Join us May 3, 2026 at the Boulder Reservoir for the Emerge 5K, a family-friendly walk and run supporting youth mental health and suicide prevention in our community.

When you register, you can create your own 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.

Rise Against Suicide has funded more than 20,000 therapy appointments and supported over 2,000 local youth. In 2026, we are working toward a goal of $175,000 to continue removing financial barriers and providing free therapy for kids who otherwise would not have access to care.

Along the course, butterfly memorials will line the path, each one honoring someone loved. Participants may sponsor a butterfly in memory or in honor of a friend, family member, or life carried in their hearts. Together they create a powerful display of remembrance, love, and community.

Live music by Kutandara fills the air as families gather and friends reconnect. This year’s event also includes a Kid Zone, a comforting Reflection & Connection Zone, and community vendor and resource booths featuring local organizations committed to youth wellbeing.

Your steps matter.
Your voice matters.
Your fundraising could change a life.

However you show up, you belong here.

Bring your people. Bring your purpose.
Together, we rise.
