The 437 Project is more than a run—it’s a movement bringing South Dakotans together to destigmatize mental health and strengthen communities. What began as a bold idea among friends has become a statewide tradition of connection, awareness, and hope. Each year, runners relay 437 miles, supported by volunteers and inspired by a shared mission: to spark honest conversations around mental health. This short documentary goes behind the miles, featuring the founders, runners, volunteers, and partners who shaped its journey. Their stories reveal the project’s growing impact and vision for the future.
