Suicide is a major public health problem with far-reaching social, emotional and economic consequences. It is estimated that there are currently more than 700,000 suicides per year worldwide, and we know that each suicide profoundly affects many more people. Suicide remains a critical global issue, affecting individuals and communities worldwide.

What is Cycle Around the Globe?

IASP’s World Suicide Prevention Day event, Cycle Around the Globe, is back for the eleventh year running to raise awareness of suicide prevention worldwide. Cycle Around the Globe is a virtual event; for anyone, anywhere in the world to participate by taking part in physical activity.

When is it?

From World Suicide Prevention Day (10 September) until World Mental Health Day (10 October) 2025, we are asking you to cycle, walk or run to help us work together to prevent suicide. Our goal is to enable global participation, which is why the event is entirely free to join, and fundraising is optional.

Why should you participate?

Join IASP’s Cycle Around the Globe 2025 and be part of a global movement to prevent suicide. IASP leads the global effort in suicide prevention, and this event offers a meaningful way to raise awareness during World Suicide Prevention Day and the lead-up to World Mental Health Day. By cycling and sharing your journey, you contribute to changing the narrative on suicide, inspiring open conversations, and breaking down stigma. Together, we can foster understanding, build supportive communities, and encourage action at all levels—individuals, organizations, and governments—toward a world where suicide is preventable.
