From the Organizer
We look forward to hosting the SECOND Annual Run Towards Recovery 5K on Saturday, September 12th in Chandler, OK. Our event for 2026 will be a gathering of remembrance and recovery—honoring September 11 and recognizing the strength, resilience, and hope found in addiction recovery.
We gather to honor the lives lost on September 11, recognize the courage and sacrifice of first responders, and acknowledge the families forever impacted by that day. We also stand in solidarity with the recovery community—recognizing the strength it takes to heal from addiction and trauma.
Through community, shared remembrance, and hope, this race honors loss while uplifting recovery, resilience, and the power of coming together.
Part of the admissions and sponsorships will be donated to The Chosen House and The Jeremiah House.
