The race starts and finishes at the Bell Tower at Dogwood Park and winds through the tree-lined streets of the Village. The race is followed by a night of music, kids’ games, and amazing food. Established in 2010, the race honors 1N5 founder and executive director Nancy Eigel-Miller’s late husband, Jim Miller, who died by suicide in 2008. The name 1N5 reflects the statistic that one in

Money raised through the Warrior Run helps support Adapt for Life, a mental health and well-being program designed for students in grades K-12 and provided in partnership with Cincinnati Children’s

Working with community partners allows 1N5 to reach even more people across the area to reduce stigma and provide mental health education.
