Run4Hope 5k For Schools
Saturday, September 18th, 9am
The Ascent Church,
1750 Deer Creek Rd
Monument, CO 80132
A best practice youth suicide prevention project designed to harness the power of peer social networks to change unhealthy norms and culture, ultimately preventing suicide, bullying, and substance abuse. The mission of Sources of Strength is to prevent suicide by increasing help seeking behaviors and promoting connections between peers and caring adults. Sources of Strength moves beyond a singular focus on risk factors by utilizing an upstream approach for youth suicide prevention. This upstream model strengthens multiple sources of support (protective factors) around young individuals so that when times get hard they have strengths to rely on.
In the last three years, we’ve raised and given away over $50,000 to four area D-38 and D-20 high schools for the suicide prevention program, Sources of Strength.

Join us in reaching our goal to raise $20,000 to be used for suicide prevention in four D38 and D20 high schools (Lewis Palmer, Palmer Ridge, Discovery Canyon and The Classical Academy). By investing in this annual event you’ll be helping us provide assistance to those teens in our community that need us most!
As part of your sponsorship, you are eligible to provide “give-aways” or SWAG with your logo or brand that will be included in runner’s race packets or given to them at the end of the race.

Additional info is available in the "Where and How do I Enter My Results" section below.

WHERE AND HOW DO I ENTER MY RESULTS?
You'll enter your time on the

You also have the option enter a link to your GPS map if you run with a GPS watch or tracking app on your smartphone. (This is optional -- a GPS link is not required to enter your time).
