Joy Run 25KM
Joy Run 25KM is a 25K trail race returning to the west coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, where the event series began in 2021. The course follows the same route as previous years and moves through backcountry terrain with mountain climbs and sweeping valleys.
The route starts on North Harbour Road in Pasadena and finishes in Steady Brook, descending into views of the Humber Valley. The course includes sustained elevation gain as well as downhill sections toward valley viewpoints.
The event is organized by Joy Run and is held in loving memory of the organizer's brother, who died by suicide on July 13, 2019. The race is connected to goals of promoting mental health awareness and suicide prevention, and it emphasizes community, resilience, and shared remembrance. Organizers describe the event as a way to turn grief into movement, to foster conversation, and to support connection through trail running.
