About this race
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 Welcome
- All Ages: Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome—from seasoned runners to families with strollers, toddlers in the kids’ races, and pups on leashes.
- In-Person or Virtual: 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.
Symbolism of the Event
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.
