Working with an initial grant from KyleCares, the Kyle Johnson Foundation, the organizers of the Champions of Wellness 5K will use the funds raised from this event to support programming meant to raise awareness about the mental health challenges teens confront and to support initiatives to improve mental health. In addition, the funds will be used to support wellness-related initiatives at Canton High School, such as speakers, programming, and scholarships.

Runners and volunteers can park in the Canton High School "lower lot" at the end of Reynolds Street. When/If these spaces fill, parking is available in the Canton High School lots.

Restrooms will be available at the start and finish lines, at Memorial Field.
