Blue Jean Mile | ASICS x Fleet Feet

The Blue Jean Mile is a community event organized by Fleet Feet and ASICS to raise awareness about mental health resources and advocacy. Participants run or walk a mile in blue jeans, symbolizing the discomfort associated with discussing mental health. The event began in 2020, inspired by ASICS runner Johnny Gregorek's record attempt in memory of his brother, Patrick. The National Alliance on Mental Illness of Washtenaw County participates to provide insights on available resources and support. The event emphasizes the importance of community support and open conversation about mental health challenges. Everyone is welcome to participate and show support.
