Running for Mental Health, Together.
Saturday October 25th, 2025
Our Mission
“Mental health is a silent epidemic. We all kind of know it’s there, but we don’t talk about it enough. The three of us have all been affected by mental health in our own ways, and over the last few months of Ironman training we’ve learnt that if you surround yourself with the right people, you can accomplish anything. That truth has carried us through life’s toughest moments, pushed us beyond our limits, and inspired us to take action for mental health.
On Saturday October 25th, 2025, we will put that belief in motion by running 125km around the loop of the island of Montréal in support of mental health initiatives at St Mary’s Hospital.
This isn’t a race; it’s a community challenge. An open invitation for friends, family, and anyone inspired to run beside us to join along the route. It’s a symbol of resilience and perseverance, a reminder that stepping into discomfort can lead to incredible breakthroughs, both on the road and in life.”
“Donate today to help us reach the finish line for mental health.”
How It Works
“We’ll launch this challenge at the stroke of midnight on October 25th, beneath the glowing lights of La Grande Roue de Montréal. From that moment, the city becomes our track – 125 km around the island, fueled by grit, friendship, and a shared mission for mental health.
For the next 18 hours, expect more than just running. There will be food stations, hydration crews, and pit stops packed with music, laughter, and energy to keep spirits alive. At any point, friends, family, and strangers alike can jump in, whether it’s for one kilometer, a half marathon, or the full loop!
By sunset, around 6 p.m., we’ll circle back to where it all began for a finish line like no other. It won’t just mark the end of 125 km. It will celebrate resilience, community, and the collective belief that none of us are in this alone.”
“Every kilometer we run is powered by your generosity, make your donation
count now.”

Why We Run
“Mental health affects all of us, directly or indirectly. Yet too often, stigma and limited resources leave people struggling alone. Throughout this run, we aim to raise awareness, tear down stigmas, and help St. Mary’s Hospital continue to provide essential mental health services.
Completing 125km requires teamwork, pacing, and encouragement. These same qualities carry us forward on the road to mental well-being. We want to show that when we come together, we can cross finish lines that once seemed impossible, whether on the road or in life.”
“Help us create that change, donate now and be part of the movement.”
