These two events raise awareness to the tragedy of suicide, help reduce the stigma associated with depression and mental illness, educate the community about available services, support local suicide prevention programs, and provide a safe place to heal for those who have lost loved ones to suicide as a community.
We are so excited to hold our race LIVE at the athletic field at Laney College in Oakland, CA. We will start the race on the track. Look forward to many surprises.

Hear our MC make announcements and many surprises! The 1 mile fun run starts at 9:30am! Timed by Aaron Ford Timing.
