The Mental Health Runner Program—Self-Guided provides a flexible, accessible way to begin running for mental well-being on your own time and at your own pace, all at no cost.

Participants receive a pair of running shoes, a technical shirt, and the Forward is a Pace workbook, a 12-week guided resource designed to support both physical movement and mental reflection. The program includes training plans, journaling prompts, mindset tools, and encouragement to help participants build consistency and confidence.

By removing financial barriers and providing supportive structure, the Self-Guided program helps people take meaningful steps forward, no matter where they are starting.

The Mental Health Runner Program—Cohorts offers a more structured, in-person experience for individuals who benefit from guidance, accountability, and shared connection.

Participants meet regularly with trained coaches, mentors, and peers in a welcoming, low-pressure environment where movement is used as a supportive tool for mental well-being. Through group runs, discussions, and encouragement, participants build confidence, develop healthy routines, and experience the power of showing up together.

The emphasis is not on pace or performance, but on creating a safe space where people feel supported, understood, and empowered to keep going.

Run Chapters bring the Still I Run community into local neighborhoods across the country. Led by trained volunteer leaders, chapters provide consistent opportunities to move together and talk openly about mental health.

Group runs and walks are free, inclusive, and open to all paces and experience levels. Whether someone is brand new to running or returning after time away, chapters offer a supportive environment where people can show up as they are and know they are not alone.

Run Chapters help turn movement into connection, creating spaces where community members encourage one another and continue showing up together.

The Still I Run Ambassador Program empowers individuals to share their stories, advocate for mental health, and help expand the reach of the movement.

Ambassadors raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage others to explore the connection between movement and mental well-being. Through storytelling, community engagement, and peer-to-peer fundraising, ambassadors help make free programs accessible to more people.

By turning personal experience into collective impact, ambassadors help more individuals discover that they don’t have to navigate their mental health journey alone.

Team Still I Run brings together runners who want to use their miles to make a difference. Participants commit to fundraising in support of Still I Run’s mission while training for races around the world.

Through shared purpose and community support, Team Still I Run members help expand access to free programs, resources, and supportive spaces for mental well-being.

Every mile completed and every dollar raised helps more people experience the benefits of movement for mental health.

Every Still I Run program is built to increase access to movement-based mental health support and create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and encouraged to keep showing up.

Your support helps make these programs possible and allows us to continue expanding access so more people can experience the healing power of movement.

Together, we are creating a world where every story and every pace belongs.
