Run. Walk. Heal. Together.

Her Love remains, your identity endures 

This September, join us for more than just a race. In honor of Suicide Prevention Month, we are hitting the pavement to prove that Movement is Therapy.

Physical activity is a powerful tool for mental wellness, but community is the heart of recovery. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or taking your first steps toward a more active lifestyle, this event is a space to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and start life-saving conversations.

Why Your Steps Matter

Every registration does more than buy a bib—it provides a lifeline. All proceeds from race day go directly to our Client Care Fund.

This fund ensures that quality, culturally competent mental health care is a right, not a privilege. By joining us, you are helping to provide therapy and support to individuals in our community regardless of their ability to pay.

Become a Sponsor

We would be honored to have your organization join us in making this event a success. Your contributions will have a meaningful impact in helping us serve individuals in need, while promoting mental health awareness within our community. All sponsorships will directly support race day preparation, including permits, event logistics, and runner kits.

Thank You Partners
