The event is organized by a foundation that funds programs and initiatives focused on youth mental health education, help-seeking behavior, and equitable access to care. The race was created in memory of a young person who experienced a mental health crisis. Temporary road closures will occur on nearby streets for the in-person course. Over one hundred volunteers are requested to support pre-race and race day activities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
