SAVE (Suicide Awareness Voices of Education) for our annual Walk/Run around Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, MN on August 1, 2026. This event is not just about miles covered; it's about coming together as a community to support one another and raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.
Whether you've personally struggled with suicidal ideation, lost a loved one to suicide, or simply want to show your support for those who have, this event is a powerful opportunity to connect with others who understand and empathize with your journey.
We are proud that with the generous partnership of our presenting sponsors TitleSmart and Executive Title, registration for this year's 5K/10K at Lake Harriet in Minneapolis is now FREE. Please spread the word with your networks and help us make this event an incredible success for the cause of suicide prevention! The first 500 registrants will receive a free T-shirt as a thank-you for your support.
The option to donate is available during registration, and all funds raised will be doubled by the Tosa Foundation!
Our 5k and 10k routes wind through the beautiful scenery of Lake Harriet, offering participants a chance to reflect, remember, and find solace in the shared experience of those around them. Every step taken is a step toward breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and fostering a community of understanding and compassion.
Together, we can make a difference. Join us at Lake Harriet for a day of unity, remembrance, and hope as we honor those we've lost, support those who are struggling, and work towards a future where no one feels alone in their battle against suicide.
Online donations and contributions at the race benefit SAVE in our mission to prevent suicide through training, education, advocacy, and supporting suicide loss survivors. Your support funds impactful programs like The Green Bandana Project, workplace suicide prevention training, and much more. Please visit save.org for more information.
Attendees will be able to share photos and written memories of loved ones lost to suicide at a memorial tent at the event. If you would like to share an item in our display honoring loved ones, please bring copies that do not need to be returned with you to the event. We will provide art supplies that may be used to create messages or pictures in person.
