We all have a story to share. We would be honored if you shared your story with us.
Here at Still I Run, we truly believe that when we put our collective voices together to share our truth, we are getting rid of the stigmatizing narrative placed on us.
Share your story
Sharing your mental health journey and/or experiences with running for mental health inspires others and helps defeat the stigma.
Not a writer? That's okay. We have a team of editors to help you write your story. Remember that what you have to say is important, has value, and matters.
Use the link above or you can email your story directly to us at lendyourvoice@stillirun.org

They can relate to your story or simply be photos of yourself (such as race selfies, your running shoes, or your friends, family, or pets). We'll use these in your story post as well as for social media promotion. Photos must be larger than 500x500 pixels.

Our editors will review your submission, reach out with any questions, and ensure you are happy with the final draft before it goes live on our website. Once your story is published, we encourage you to share it with your friends and family on social media!
