From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find fun run events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
Funds raised for this event benefit all programs of the Free Clinic of Simi Valley that support Mental Health. The event's namesake, Fredrick Michael Gibson, was a caring, intelligent, and academically accomplished you man who enjoyed tennis, video games, and spending time with his beloved family. Tragically, in 2014, before he finished his last year at UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy, Fredrick lost his life to depression. Every year the community and many of Fredrick's family members, including race coordinator and Fredrick's aunt — Karen Finmark, come together to honor Fredrick by raising awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding depression, and supporting others to get life-saving mental health services. This event aims to stop the silent suffering of those with depression and invites participants to walk, run, and heal together.
