The Warrior Run began in 2008 as the Jim Miller Memorial Mile, created by friends and family to honor Jim’s life and legacy. A lifelong Mariemont resident, Jim was a dedicated athlete, coach, mentor, and community leader who poured his energy into supporting others.

After losing Jim to suicide in 2008, his family and community turned their grief into action—launching an effort to raise awareness and support for mental health and suicide prevention. What began as a small memorial run has grown into the Warrior Run 5K, a powerful community event rooted in hope, connection, and purpose.

Today, the Warrior Run supports the work of 1N5, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing suicide by erasing the stigma of mental illness and promoting optimal mental wellness. 1N5 now partners with more than 325 schools and 150 community organizations, providing lifesaving mental health education in schools, workplaces, and community spaces across the region.

Each year, the Warrior Run brings together runners, walkers, families, and teams in a supportive, uplifting environment, uniting our community around a shared commitment to mental health and reminding us that no one has to struggle alone. Every step moves us closer to our vision of a world without suicide and a community of people with optimal mental health.
