This June, our collective is participating in a 450-mile relay run across New York State. The project was created to spark conversations around mental health, strengthen community connection, and inspire healing through movement. From June 12–14, runners will travel from Buffalo to Brooklyn, passing right through Albany before concluding with a collective finish across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Our community is accessible to all ages and paces. Alongside the relay, we are logging 161 miles throughout June to celebrate Juneteenth and honor the end of slavery 161 years ago. Our community remembers this history by dedicating one mile for every year of freedom since that day. This campaign is an active demonstration of discipline, resilience, and wellness.
