Bluebird Run and Walk for Brookie B.

The Bowers’ family and NAMI Tallahassee are proud to announce that the Bluebird Run and Walk for Brookie B. is taking place on Labor Day, September 5th, 2022, at J.R. Alford Greenway. The Bluebird Run and Walk for Brookie B. is a 5K race established in 2015 to memorialize Brook Bowers, and all the other loved ones we have lost to suicide. It is an event to honor their memory, and much more. It is an event to celebrate our own mental health and the opportunities we all have to share. The IM Fun Run/Walk at Lafayette Heritage Trail Canopy Walkway begins at 8:00 AM. The 5K Trail Run/Walk in the J.R. Alford Greenway begins at 8:30 AM. Join us, to enjoy a nice walk or run and learn more about suicide awareness and prevention. Honor your loved one with a walk through Memory Lane, which remembers and honors all of the loved ones we have lost to suicide. You are invited to join other suicide loss survivors in providing photographs, memories and tributes to your lost loved one, and/or written words of encouragement, hope and healing for survivors. These items will be mounted with clips on specially made frames at the Bluebird event. Paper decorations and other art supplies will also be available to create a memory while you visit. We will also have live music, Zumba, and snacks for you to enjoy!  You can find more details and access to race registration at bluebirdrun.com. Day-of event registration opens at 7:00 AM, but we encourage you to pre-register at bluebirdrun.com.
