Our Programs
Here at Still I Run we want to do more than create a community around running for mental health. We want to have a direct impact on those around us.
Every one of the programs we have developed either raise mental health awareness, help people start their running journey for mental health, inspire people to get out and run, or simply provide encouragement and support to those in need.

Starting Line Scholarship
Not everyone has the funds, knowledge, or accountability needed to start running for mental health. That's why we've created the Grand Rapids Starting Line Scholarship, an in-person cohort which aims to help people overcome the barriers preventing them from getting started running.
Chapter Program
While Still I Run is a virtual online community, the Chapter Program exists to bring a portion of our virtual community to physical locations across the nation. These are smaller, geographically tied Still I Run communities where you can meet, network, and RUN together somewhere near you.
Ambassador Program
Our community grows and thrives through our ambassadors. Our ambassadors spread the word about Still I Run in an organic way though real people passionate about the benefits of running for mental health, defeating the stigma around mental health, and connecting with others in a powerful way.
Mental Health Runner
The Mental Health Runner Program is designed to help individuals take their first steps toward improving mental wellness through running. We believe in the power of running to positively impact both mental and physical health, and we’re here to provide the tools you need to get started—regardless of financial barriers or where you live.
Team Still I Run
This program encourages community members to run for mental health awareness while also raising funds for our mission. Once you reach a fundraising minimum, you are automatically made a member of Team Still I Run, earn a team shirt, and gain access to exclusive Team-only clubs and discounts.
Run.Write.Fight Program
This is one of the first programs we launched at Still I Run and it's one we're very fond of! If someone is going through a difficult time, they can request a note of encouragement. Once we get that request, someone from the Still I Run letter writing team will take an actual pen to actual paper and write a friendly, encouraging note.
