About this Event

2025 Charleston SC Out of the Darkness Walk for Suicide Prevention

Go to to complete your free walk registration and join us at Gahagan Park for the annual Out of the Darkness Walk!

This is an annual walk for Charleston, South Carolina & surrounding area (Berkeley County, Charleston County, Dorchester County). The walk path is ~1 mile on a paved path surrounding the Gahagan Park area.

The Out of the Darkness Community Walk is a journey of remembrance, hope, and support. It unites our communities and provides an opportunity to acknowledge the ways in which suicide and mental health conditions have affected our lives and the lives of those we love and care about.

This event is all about raising awareness and support for suicide prevention. Let's walk together to show our solidarity and spread hope. Whether you're walking in memory of a loved one or just want to show your support, all are welcome. Let's make a difference together!
