Miles for Mental Health

Miles for Mental Health is an inspiring initiative that transforms the act of running into a powerful statement about resilience and support. This annual run brings together runners from all walks of life to honor first responders who face unique mental health challenges, particularly PTSD, as part of their service. The event aims to foster dialogue and understanding around these issues while raising awareness in the broader community.
Participants will traverse scenic routes that highlight local landmarks and parks, creating a meaningful backdrop for this important cause. Each step taken contributes to breaking down barriers surrounding mental health discussions within first responder communities, encouraging more individuals to seek help and share their stories openly. The event features speakers who are experts in mental health support and first responders sharing personal experiences.
Runners of all levels can join the Miles for Mental Health run on October 4, 2026, to show solidarity with those dedicated to serving others and to advocate for better mental health resources within emergency services.
