On October 9 headspace Port Macquarie is celebrating their national day by hosting an epic race for your head space.

At each station participants will need to complete activities around one of headspace's seven steps to good mental health.

Donna Judge community engagement team leader for headspace Port Macquarie said it is shaping up to be a great event.

"Our headspace Day is a great day for everyone who takes part each year," Ms Judge said.

"We also deck the office out in green and have fun activities happening but this year we decided to do something a little different.

"We wanted to host an Amazing Race style activity around Port Macquarie's CBD to get the whole community thinking about promoting positive mental health."

Ms Judge said a number of businesses have already come on board for the family friendly event.

"We are encouraging the whole community to get involved in the day," she said.

"We are basing ourselves at Town Green this year which will also be the start and finish of the Amazing Race.

"We will have live music and food for all the participants and we have over $1000 in prizes for those who participate in the race.

"The race is open to everyone over the age of 12. To enter the race you have to be in teams of two to four people and be ready to have a lot of fun."
