Named for Chad Evans, who was lost to suicide on August 13, 2023 after a battle no one knew he was fighting, Chad’s Day for Change brings the running community together while raising awareness and funds for a very important cause: men’s mental health.

Chad’s Day for Change supports HeadsUpGuys, an organization dedicated to changing men’s attitudes towards seeking help and to providing education and support. Thanks to our passionate athletes, volunteers, sponsors and Chad’s friends and family, we were able to exceed our goal in the inaugural 2024 race and raise $7,860 to support their mission.
