NEW IBERIA, La. -Â Heart for Iberia and the Iberia Mental Health Initiative cordially invite you to run a 5K or walk a mile in the second annual Bayou Side Run. This event will be held in downtown New Iberia on Sat., May 7, 2022, beginning at 8 a.m. with food and music for the public to enjoy and cheer on the runners.
The race's goal is to raise mental health awareness and funds for the Iberia Mental Health Initiative, a coalition of concerned citizens dedicated to identifying and addressing the mental health needs of the community.
By participating, runners and walkers can show their support for mental health. The participation fee is $25 for individuals. A group discount rate is also available. Interested runners or walkers may sign up at RunSignUp.com.
Community businesses, churches and individuals may submit sponsorship donations to defray race costs. Runners and walkers who sign up by April 17 will receive a T-shirt commemorating their participation.
The planners thank you in advance for your consideration in becoming a Bayou Side Run participant.
