Take It In Strides Run

The Take It In Strides Run is a community event held at Boulevard Lake in Thunder Bay, Ontario, dedicated to honoring those lost to suicide and promoting mental health awareness. Participants can choose from a 10 km run, 5 km run, 3 km walk, or join virtually with an activity of their choice. The event fosters a supportive atmosphere with the motto "Strong Minds.

Strong Strides. No One Runs Alone." It raises funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association and the Children’s Centre Foundation. New in 2025 is a spaghetti dinner the evening before the run, enhancing community connection.

Free workshops on suicide prevention are also offered ahead of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
