Move Forward Together 5K Walk/Run for Suicide Awareness

Join us for the Brattleboro Retreat's inaugural 5K walk/run, taking place on Saturday, September 12 at 9AM!

Start where you are, move forward together

Brattleboro Retreat’s Move Forward Together 5K for Suicide Awareness is a timed walk/run honoring those we’ve lost, bringing hope to those who are struggling, and connecting our community with vital resources during Suicide Awareness Month. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, you’ll help create a space where everyone belongs and every step forward matters.

Proceeds from the event will support enhancements to patient care and experience at the Brattleboro Retreat, including program development, staff training, patient financial assistance, and campus improvements.

Kids and strollers are welcome, and children under 12 participate free of charge. For the safety and comfort of all participants, pets are not permitted, except for service animals.

The course

The 5K walk/run begins and ends at the Brattleboro Retreat and features a flat and scenic out-and-back course along Route 30.
