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 5 km or 10 km run, a 3 km walk, or join virtually with any meaningful activity. The event fosters support for individuals facing mental health challenges and 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. The event also offers free online workshops on suicide prevention, emphasizing that no one runs alone. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
