Run for Joy is a 5K race that supports mental health advocacy and wellness for
health care trainees. Mental health issues and suicide are becoming increasingly
common among health care trainees. Run for Joy seeks to combat the stigma
associated with seeking help.
The Minnesota Association of Nurse Anesthetists is proud to partner with Run for
Joy and TerraLoco as a satellite site for this important cause. Run for Joy was
started to honor the memory of Katelyn Joy Beardsley, who tragically lost her life to
suicide in 2020 while in school to become a CRNA. Katelyn was an avid runner who
used running to support her own mental wellness.
Minnesota participants can sign up for the virtual 5K using the QR code or website
listed below (and get a T-shirt!) or choose to donate onsite the day of the race.
Registration through the QR code or website is not required to participate. All are
welcome!
