Joy Run 25
Joy Run 25 is a trail running event covering 25 km on the west coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. The course begins on North Harbour Road in Pasadena and finishes in Steady Brook, descending into views of the Humber Valley. The route goes deep into the backcountry and includes sustained mountain climbs, sweeping valleys, and rugged terrain.
The event returns to the region where the movement began in 2021. It is held in loving memory of the organizer's brother, who died by suicide on July 13, 2019. The stated aims of the event are to promote mental health, raise awareness about suicide prevention, and strengthen community ties through trail running. The course is framed in terms of resilience and shared memory, with an emphasis on collective support rather than individual competition.
