ABOUT RACE AROUND THE WORLD CAMPAIGN
 
 
 
 
The startling statistics about suicide and the alarming state of veterinary mental health is coming out of the shadows one step at a time. Not One More Vet (NOMV) seeks to change the status of mental wellness within the professions, helping veterinary professionals survive and thrive with education, resources, and support. The NOMV Race Around the World brings awareness and much needed funds for this mission.
 
Much like the NOMV organization, the Race Around the World had a grassroots start that centered in the desire to make positive changes in the veterinary profession. What began as a successful local 5K in Bedminster, NJ in 2019 quickly progressed into a virtual race that encompassed the world.
 
Our 1st Race Around the World was an incredibly humbling experience for NOMV. 1,165 participants from 10 different countries raced and fundraised with us. Those funds have since made it possible for NOMV to grow and support more veterinary professionals than ever before.
 
Our 2021 ultimate goal is to bike/run/walk/wheelchair an accumulative 40,000 kilometers (25,000 miles)—roughly the circumference of the earth—over a 4-week period. In recognition of Suicide Prevention Month, the NOMV Race Around the World will take place throughout the Month of September.
 
 
Racers and Teams will have the opportunity to win prizes, bragging rights, and most importantly, create a community of care for veterinary professionals around the world. Build a team with your co-workers, friends, or family. Get out there and move while logging #milesforourmission and fundraising for #nomv!
