Joy Run 25
The Joy Run 25 is a 25 kilometer trail race in Pasadena, Newfoundland and Labrador, organized by Joy Run. The course follows the same route used in previous years, moving into backcountry terrain with sustained mountain climbs, sweeping valleys, and rugged sections. The route begins on North Harbour Road and finishes in Steady Brook, descending into views of the Humber Valley.
The event is held in memory of a family member who died by suicide and is presented with the stated aims of promoting mental health and raising awareness about suicide prevention. The race is described as an expression of community resilience and a way to support mental health through trail running. The organizer frames the distance as both a physical challenge and a way to honor loss, reflecting themes of endurance, connection, and remembrance.
