About this race
Event Overview
Life:Story is Centerstone’s national walk/run for suicide prevention, bringing communities together across Missouri, 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.
Experience
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.

- Free Giveaways: Exciting items for participants.
- Perks: Event T‑shirt, finisher medal, and curated Spotify playlist.
