Who we are

Running For The High of It was founded in 2024 by three friends—Kevin, Joani, and Mikayla—who share a purpose: to run and move their bodies for their own mental health, to advocate for mental health as a part of everyday health, and to raise awareness for suicide prevention.

We believe that through movement and community, we can move forward together—breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and supporting those who need it most with every step we take. Whether you're lacing up for your first mile or your hundredth, we're here to remind you that the best pace is forward, and no one has to move forward alone. Join us in creating a space where mental health matters, and every step counts toward a healthier, more connected community.
