🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

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.

👟 In Memory of Brad Paul

  • Honoree: John Bradford Paul, lovingly known as Brad Paul—a devoted father, son, brother, uncle, and friend.
  • Background: A lifelong runner and a passionate supporter of others, he moved frequently and eventually called Forsyth County home for nearly two decades.
  • Community Impact: Founded Ananchel Photography and served the community as a local business owner for 15 years.
  • Teaching Career: Later moved to Tampa, Florida, where he became a teacher for children with special needs and a track coach.

💪 Message of Resilience

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

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.
