Run for Mental Health Awareness

Feb 17, 2022 | 12:47 PM

The Candle Lake Fun Run Inc. is a newly formed not-for-profit organization that is excited to bring a 5km Walk/Run and 10 km Fun Run to the Resort Village of Candle Lake.

Our board is a group of volunteers who are committed to reducing the stigma of mental illness. Many of us have witnessed first-hand the pain and suffering of family and friends with depression, anxiety, as well as suicide. The goal of the Candle Lake Fun Run is to raise funds for programs and projects in Saskatchewan that focus on mental health as well as give back to the Candle Lake community.

Our first Fun Run will be on September 17, 2022 and we expect it to be an annual event that grows in years to come.

We are extremely pleased to have partnered with the Candle Lake Golf Resort as the scenic location of the Fun Run.

Not only will the event bring runners from all over the province, it will be promoted locally as a family event with activities for children with a Kidz Zone, live music, food trucks, and a beverage area.

We are projecting 400 participants for the first year. We are fortunate to have many sponsors that have stepped forth to help us get started.

As you can imagine, an event of this magnitude needs volunteer support as well as sponsors. If you are interested in joining the walk/run please sign up at the www.runningroom.com
