Description
Join the Move Fast Run Club this month for a powerful virtual challenge that brings awareness to mental health. We’re running 46 miles in 30 days—one mile for each percentage point representing the 46% of Americans who will experience a diagnosable mental illness in their lifetime. Together, we’re breaking the stigma and showing that it’s okay to talk about mental health.
This is more than just a run; it’s a movement. By participating, you’re helping to raise awareness, support those affected by mental health struggles, and take a stand against the silence and shame often surrounding mental health challenges. Whether you’re an experienced runner or just starting out, each mile you complete helps spark important conversations and show that we are all in this together.
We have partnered with NAMI-NYC and through this challenge hope to raise funds which will be donated to them to support the crucial work they do for the mental health community. You can learn more by checking out the links below!
Speaking of NAMI-NYC... Want a shot at the NYC Marathon? Here is your chance! Rack up the most miles for the month and a bib is yours.(Race Fees and Fundraising requirements still must be met by the recipient)
Let’s move fast, run strong, and end the stigma. Join us and make every mile count for mental health.
How it Works!
The rules are simple! Through the month of May you will look to rack up a total of 46 miles running from where ever in the world you are. Hit your 46? Keep going! Do it with your run club, your family, friends, pets! Road miles? Count em! Trails? Count em! Treadmill? Count em! After each day you will manually input your "results" along with an image of your watch, Strava, etc from the run that day! This virtual challenge is about community and shining light on this very important cause. We hope that we can inspire conversation and run out stigmas! We look forward to seeing all the miles from all over!
