Set in Fredericton, New Brunswick's beautiful Odell Park, the Flyin' Feet Five Miler route takes you through the park's main trails where you experience an eye full of new life springing up in all its varied settings - shaded woods with refreshing streams, green grassy park, and Fredericton's Botanical Gardens. Musicians along the course will keep your feet moving and set a beat to tackle the last big hill at mile 4. Tutapona teams in Uganda will be joining to run alongside 5-miler participants in the refugee settlements where we work!

A kids 1K fun run will start the event off with many door prizes and give-aways wrapping up the morning.

This challenging run, hosted by Smythe Street Church, supports Tutapona's work in addressing the mental health needs of refugees and people displaced by war or violent conflict.

Why is Tutapona’s work so important?

Tutapona exists to provide mental health support to some of the world’s most war-affected communities. We do this through group programming and individual support sessions delivered by all local staff in each programming location.

Since we began this work 15 years ago, over 70,000 men, women, and children from the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Iraq, Syria, Uganda, and now Ukraine have found the courage, resilience, and strength to begin moving forward. Children see futures ahead of them. Families experience restoration. Communities are living in peace. And hope is growing. Will you run with us for #mentalhealth?
