A community remembrance walk/run
for the moments that don’t have words.
The Callam Laine Along the Way Walk/Run is a casual, non-timed community event created to offer a gentle space for remembrance, reflection, emotional wellness, and support.
This event is for families, friends, neighbors, children, and community members who have carried grief, loss, hard diagnoses, stress, transition, or quiet seasons that are difficult to explain.
Callam means peace. Laine means road. His name means peaceful journey. The Along the Way Walk/Run was created from that meaning: a place for people to walk together, remember together, and feel less alone along the way.
