This meaningful event is more than just a race — it’s an opportunity to raise awareness, encourage open conversations, and remind others that they are never alone. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, every participant helps bring visibility, hope, and support to those impacted by mental health challenges and suicide.
Participants are encouraged to wear bright colors in celebration of hope, resilience, and community.
