2nd Annual Centerstone Life;Story 5K Run/Walk for Veteran/Military Suicide Prevention - Tennessee

Event Overview

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 families with strollers and kids in the youth races to runners with dogs and virtual supporters joining from afar.

Tennessee Specifics

In Tennessee, the event takes on an additional focus: the start and finish lines sit just miles from the gates of Fort Campbell, home to the decorated 101st Airborne Division, the 5th Special Forces Group, and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Here, Life:Story also serves to honor the brave service members, veterans, and military families who have carried the invisible wounds of war—reminding them they are seen, valued, and never alone.

Symbolism

The semicolon in Life:Story symbolizes a pause—not an ending—and reflects the belief that every person’s story has more ahead. That spirit is felt throughout race day with a welcoming, supportive atmosphere filled with:

• Community Vendors: Engage with local businesses and organizations.
• Mental Health Resources: Access to military-specific mental health resources.
• Free Giveaways: Enjoy various complimentary items throughout the event.
• Event Perks: Receive an event T-shirt, finisher medal, and access to a curated Spotify playlist.

Impact of Participation
