From the Organizer
September is National Recovery Awareness Month.
ROCovery Annual Run/Walk and X-Challenge is a celebration of fitness and recovery, and an important fundraiser for this life saving organization—and again this year, it is both in-person and virtual so you can run and enter your results from anywhere in the world all month long! Run, walk, or just join our virtual community for the fun updates, posts and pictures!
In just over 10 years, ROCovery has engaged more than 11,000 individuals in recovery from alcohol and substance use disorder. We provide a safe place for recovery of both mind and body, helping people rebuild their lives and rediscover their inner strength and confidence through adventure, fun, and sober social connection.
This event celebrates the hope we find in recovery, and remembers loved ones who have been lost to the disease of addiction. Whether you are running for yourself, for someone you love, or for someone you've lost, we hope you will run (or walk!) for ROCovery!
If you are a person in recovery who is in need of financial assistance to sign up for the event please email us at contact@rocoveryny.org and we will discreetly scholarship you for your entry fee.
All runners and walkers will receive a swag bag with a custom bib and race *t-shirt! (*while supplies last)
Sign up before 6/28/26 for the early bird registration price! All memorial signs must be ordered by 9/5/26. Kids 10 and under are just $10 registration fee. We can't wait to see you at the event!
Help us get the word out about our event by sharing on your social media feeds!
