CSU’s Student Veteran Organization is sponsoring the first Run As One event in Fort Collins in an effort to raise awareness about PTSD, depression and suicide among veterans.

The 5K run/walk, set for Saturday, April 1, will utilize the Mason Street Trail as the course. The 8 a.m. event begins and ends at CrossFit Grenade, 3501 Mason St #2.

There is no entry fee but donations will be accepted. You can register online or at the event; all are welcome to participate.

Races around the world

Run as One began in 2012 as an attempt to bring previously hostile tribes in South Sudan together for healthy competition off the battlefield and has grown into a collaborative global event. Dozens of races are being held throughout the country and Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and South Korea.
