We are saddened to share that the 2018 edition of Stigma Breakers Trail Races will not be run. We will continue to support and promote mental health awareness and assistance.


In 2018, the fourth running of the Stigma Breakers Trail Races, we will be honoring our friend Jon Grey who lost his struggle with depression. The race proceeds will be donated to a charitable organization of the choosing of his family. that assists those who struggle with mental health and help with defeating the stigma.

We are proud to announce that we are continuing our association with Guild Incorporated!

Their mission is to help people with mental illness lead quality lives by providing integrated treatment and services.

They fulfill their mission when individuals they serve:
  • live in safe, affordable housing and homelessness is prevented.
  • maintain their optimum physical and mental health.
  • find employment or pursue education.
  • have recreation and socializing opportunities.
  • report a sense of satisfaction with their lives.

Over the past three years we have raised over $1,850 for organizations who help with defeating the stigma of mental health and assisting those who struggle with his/her mental health.
