We are incredibly grateful to the Servus Edmonton Marathon for choosing CMHA Edmonton as one of the charities in its Charity Challenge this year that raised critical funds to support community mental health for all.

The Marathon Day was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community comes together around movement, encouragement, and a shared purpose. We loved being out on the course, cheering on participants and seeing the energy that carried runners toward the finish line.

Most importantly, thank you to every person who chose to run for a cause and donate to CMHA Edmonton. Your generosity helps strengthen mental health in our community by supporting programs, services, and connection for people who need it.

Thank you to the Servus Edmonton Marathon team, the runners, volunteers, and everyone who helped make the day so meaningful and engaged. We are proud to be part of a community that shows up for mental health.

We are looking forward to our next Journeys Together!

We had the privilege and honour of attending the Servus Edmonton Marathon Media Conference yesterday and listening to the inspiring stories of this year’s participants. Hearing firsthand why people are running and what this experience means to them was a powerful reminder of the connection between physical movement and mental well-being.

For many, this marathon is more than just a race. It is a positive milestone and a testament to their resilience. Their excitement was contagious, and it reinforced why we are so proud to be a part of this community event.

We are looking forward to seeing these incredible individuals and all the other runners this Sunday. We will be there to cheer you on every step of the way!

We are 6 days away from the Servus Edmonton Marathon on August 16! Our team is ready to cheer on every participant as they cross the finish line!

One of those participants is our very own Director of Finance, Michael. As he prepares for the race, Michael shared a powerful perspective on how running is very similar to the mental health journey. While you might be experiencing the process by yourself, you are never truly alone because you have an entire community to rely on for support.

At CMHA Edmonton, we are proud to be that community for so many. Whether you are running the marathon or navigating your own path, remember that support is always within reach.

How are you getting ready for race day? Tag us and let us know how you’re preparing, or what inspired you to participate in the first place!
