The course

From the organizer

Life;Story is Centerstone’s national walk/run for suicide prevention, bringing communities together across Illinois, Tennessee, and Florida for a day of hope, healing, and connection.

Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome—from seasoned runners to families with strollers, toddlers in the kids’ races, and pups on leashes. Whether you join us in person or virtually, you’ll be part of a meaningful experience that uplifts those impacted by suicide and celebrates the courage it takes to keep going.

The semicolon in Life;Story symbolizes a pause—not an ending—and reflects the belief that every person’s story has more ahead. This event carries that spirit forward with a supportive, energizing atmosphere filled with community vendors, mental health resources, free giveaways, and crowd-favorite perks like an event T‑shirt, finisher medal, and our curated Spotify playlist.

Proceeds from Life;Story help Centerstone provide mental health and addiction services for individuals with limited or no resources. By participating, you’re helping save lives, strengthening your community, and reminding others that their story matters—and that it’s far from over.

A $5 discount is available to 1st Responders using promo code, 1STRESPONDER5 , and to Military/Veterans using promo code MILITARY5 .
