This race is built around suicide prevention and mental health awareness, and that purpose is present throughout the morning. The route is open to all paces and styles, from runners with dogs to families pushing strollers. Mental health resources and community vendors are set up along the way, and the atmosphere reflects the cause rather than a clock.
