This year marked the second year of Stride Outside: Take 30 Challenge, our annual campaign inspiring individuals and communities to take 30 minutes each day to connect with nature and focus on their mental wellbeing. 🌿
The free, inclusive initiative encourages participants of all ages and fitness levels to spend time outdoors for 30 days—whether that means walking, gardening, cycling, or simply soaking up some sunshine. By taking small, consistent steps, participants not only improved their personal wellbeing but also helped raise vital funds to support Stride’s community mental health services and programs.
We were delighted to have Base Design and Construct return as a sponsor and participant for this year’s challenge. Thanks to their support, and the enthusiasm of everyone who took part, more than 300 people registered, helping us raise an incredible $36,000 through donations and sponsorships.
Importantly, participants reported measurable improvements in their wellbeing from the start to the end of the challenge, a powerful reminder of the benefits of connecting with nature and community.
Stride Outside 2025 was a wonderful success, and we look forward to seeing it grow even further in the years to come.
