Joy Run

About the race

Joy Run 25 is a 25K trail race in Pasadena, Newfoundland and Labrador, organized by Joy Run and scheduled for July 17, 2027. The event marks the seventh annual edition and returns to the west coast of the province, where the event series began in 2021. The course starts on North Harbour Road in Pasadena, passes through backcountry terrain with mountain climbs and sweeping valleys, and finishes in Steady Brook with views of the Humber Valley. The route is point to point and travels through rugged sections of trail and road. The event is held in loving memory of the organizer's brother who died by suicide on July 13, 2019.

The race supports mental health awareness and suicide prevention and emphasizes community, resilience, and remembrance. Organizers describe the event as a way to turn grief into connection and to mark the role of shared stories and nature in healing. Participants should expect a 25 kilometer trail experience through varied terrain in western Newfoundland and Labrador. Further logistical and registration details are provided by the event organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
