YOU ARE ENOUGH 5K Run/Walk

Join us on May 5th to help folks feel seen, held, and worthy at our YOU ARE ENOUGH 5K run/walk at the beautiful Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach Strand! Everyone is welcome, including pets! We had an amazing event last year and know that this year will be more fun than ever! Our 5K is not about being the fastest or winning and is meant to bring people together around the three powerful and supportive words, YOU ARE ENOUGH.

To learn more about our founder and the cause, please visit Giving Purpose Organization.

Our goal for the event is to raise funds for a few YOU ARE ENOUGH campaign billboards in Los Angeles. Last year we raised funds for five billboards and we hope to get more up this year. Our billboards are saving lives, helping people feel hopeful, not alone, confident, and yep, ENOUGH, just as we are! Sometimes we just need a simple reminder! The minimum amount of people reached per billboard is 500,000 souls and you just never know who you are going to be helping.

RAISE FUNDS FOR YOUR OWN, TEAM BILLBOARD!

This year we are encouraging folks to create their own teams and fundraise on behalf of getting their own sponsored billboard with a "SPONSORED BY (your name) on the lower right side of the board. So if you are with a company, a club, or just want to purchase one with your name on it, this is for you! Billboards average about $3000 per month.

THE SCENIC ROUTE

The course is simple, scenic, and flat. You will start at the Hermosa Beach Pier, run to the Manhattan Beach Pier, and then come back to Hermosa Beach where there are cafes and shops to hang out at on this Cinco de Mayo holiday. We are also going to have pre-race wellness events and will keep you posted on what we will be offering via email updates. Food and drink will be available as well as an awesome DJ and a step and repeat wall for photos. We advise you to pick up your event swag bag before to the event so you can wear your event t-shirt during the race to show your support for other racers and the public.

Cathy Caplener had a great interview with Lu Parker of KTLA and discussed the YOU ARE ENOUGH cause and the first annual YOU ARE ENOUGH 5K. Check out the video on YouTube to learn more about the cause and Cathy.

We are now getting billboards up in underserved communities and were so proud to get a board up in Inglewood and are working with potential sponsors to keep them going up in Inglewood, Comptom, and Watts, places where depression is hitting all-time highs.

Meet our founder, Cathy Caplener, who has dealt with depression and anxiety most of her life. Her goal now is to make sure that people do not feel alone and seen when they are dealing with mental health challenges.

The Hermosa Beach Strand is always full of activity, whether you are walking, running, walking with your dog, or just people-watching!

The Hermosa Beach Pier Plaza is full of activity! There are fun places to eat, shop, and relax.

So proud of this board! We changed up our design in pride colors to celebrate Pride 2023 in West Hollywood! If you purchase board space you can also choose any color/design you want around the YOU ARE ENOUGH letters!

The togetherness at the first annual 5K was amazing!

Our billboards are strong, to the point, and meant to inspire and help people think and feel into what their ENOUGH is.

One of Cathy's main goals is to visit different communities in Los Angeles and share the words YOU ARE ENOUGH via campaign merchandise and heartfelt talks.
