The Run / Our Story

This Started With A Run.It Became Something Bigger.

Two guys from the patch decided to run a marathon to start a conversation about men's mental health in the oilfield. Addiction. Relationships. Working away from home. Money. Isolation. The response made one thing obvious: the patch needed more than a run. It needed a place. So we're building one.
