Want to be part of a little marathon history? For one year only, the 2027 Double TCS London Marathon is becoming a two-day event, with 100,000 runners taking on the iconic course on Saturday, April 24 and Sunday, April 25. Still I Run is an official charity partner with guaranteed entries for the Saturday race, and we still have a limited number of bibs available!

Mental Health Runner Program

Young Runners, Big Steps Forward

This year, Still I Run brought the Mental Health Runner Program to young people in two communities: Keene, New Hampshire, in partnership with the City of Keene Youth Services Department, and Tacoma, Washington, in partnership with the Pierce County Juvenile Justice System.

Through weekly runs, coaching, mentorship, mental health skill-building activities, and plenty of encouragement along the way, participants had the opportunity to experience firsthand how movement can support their mental well-being. Each participant also received running gear and a Mental Health Runner workbook, with the programs building toward the experience of completing a local 5K.

And we're excited about what we're seeing.

Across the two youth cohorts, 62% of participants completed the program, and 92% of participants said they felt "good" or "great" after their run.

In Pierce County, the momentum isn't stopping with the end of the program. Every participant who completed the cohort is continuing on to participate in the county's Fall 5K pop-up series.

For us, that's a pretty meaningful next step. We want young people to leave the program with more than the memory of one 5K. We want them to have a new way to support their mental health and the confidence to keep moving forward.

"Don't be afraid to step out of the door. Getting started is the hardest part, and don't be afraid to step outside and get out there."

Carrie H.

"Running has always been part of my mental HEALTH even if I didn’t realize it. Running is a time to connect to nature, to clear my mind and connect to myself. It was my first form of meditation even though I didn’t realize it."

Ginger Z.

"Without this program and the people involved in helping me achieve growth, I would have been at home, sitting on my couch, afraid to get up and try."

Victoria G.

"Mental Health Awareness is important to me because throughout my mental health journey, I have struggled with depression and needed therapy for my feelings. This has helped me so much and running has become a great outlet for my emotions."
