From the Organizer
Join us this September for Run for Recovery 5K — a race with purpose, healing, and hope. This event is more than just miles; it’s a reminder that no one fights alone and that recovery is possible.
Whether you’ve personally battled addiction, supported a loved one through it, lost someone to it, or simply want to stand for hope in your community — this race is for you. Every step represents strength, second chances, healing, and the courage to keep moving forward even when the journey is hard.
During Recovery Month, we come together to break stigma, honor stories, celebrate sobriety, and remind others that there is life beyond addiction. Your presence matters. Your story matters. And your support could encourage someone who feels alone to keep going.
Come run with purpose. Come run for hope. Come run for recovery.
