Running Towards Tomorrow is more than just a race—it's a movement to honor those we've lost to suicide and mental health struggles. It serves as a tribute and a call to action, raising awareness about a growing crisis that affects individuals, families, and communities across the nation.
This event was created in memory of John Bradford Paul, lovingly known as Brad Paul—a devoted father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. Brad was a lifelong runner and a passionate supporter of others.
Running Towards Tomorrow represents the resilience Brad showed and the message we hope to share: There is always a reason to keep going. Each step forward is a reminder that no one is alone, and that tomorrow holds hope.
Join us as we run in memory, in solidarity, and in support of mental health awareness. Together, we can break the silence, remove the stigma, and keep moving toward a future where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued.
Race Benefactor: One hundred percent of the donations made through this website will go directly to The Lou Ruspi Jr. Foundation (LRJ), a private, non-profit organization whose mission is to improve mental wellness and suicide prevention through interactive educational programming to school districts and the community.
