Run for Your Life 5k & Kid's Run/Walk
About this race
Join us for the 11th Annual Run for Your Life—a Halloween-themed 5K and Kid’s Run benefiting Help Center, Inc.’s 24/7 crisis and suicide prevention services. Help Center, Inc. has been here for our community for decades, offering hope, connection, and life-saving support.
This beloved community race raises awareness for suicide prevention, helps break the stigma around seeking mental health care, and inspires movement for the mind, body, and spirit.

Runners, walkers, rollers, strollers, and dogs are all welcome. Wear your best costume, bring your community spirit, and join us in making every step count toward hope.
Join fellow runners on October 25, 2025 for the Run for Your Life 5k & Kid's Run/Walk. It's a fantastic 5K, 1K featuring a flat and fast course in Bozeman.
