Speed Freaks Run for a Reason - VIRTUAL REGISTRATION
Event description
The Speed Freaks Charitable Trust invites you to Run for a Reason on Sunday 21st September 🩵 Falling within Recovery Month and ahead of this year's Mental Health Awareness Week (6th-12th October), we’re inviting you to join us virtually in Run for a Reason.
Speed Freaks and our supporters have gently challenged the stigma surrounding addiction and opened courageous conversations about mental health and community well-being. Run for a Reason builds on this, inviting the community to run, walk or roll at our local track. Celebrating those who have made courageous and brave changes, in support of those struggling, and to honour the memory of someone who has died through addiction or by suicide.
Taking place at local tracks in Auckland, Christchurch and virtually, set your goal for 90 mins. Perhaps a group activity or laps at the local park. Get creative and please share your activity via social media, and tag us. You are welcomed to write your loved one’s name on your bib in place of your own, to honour, celebrate and remember.
With 50-80% of New Zealanders experiencing mental distress, addiction challenges or both in their lifetime and 1 in 5 people experiencing mental health and addiction challenges in any given year* - the aim of the event is to acknowledge, openly support and raise awareness of the challenges that many in our community face.
Bring your dress ups, music and energy to share #speedfreaksmagic .
Funds raised from the event will directly support Speed Freaks participation in local / National events, volunteer costs and our iconic t shirts, earned through weekly running and walking commitment.
