Run for Freedom. Run for Hope.
Join us for the Grace Recovery Run 5K, a powerful community event bringing people together to support recovery, celebrate sobriety, and honor the journey toward freedom.
This isn’t just a race,it’s a movement.
The Recovery Run 5K exists to bring awareness to addiction and recovery while celebrating the strength, courage, and perseverance of those walking the path to sobriety.
Every step taken represents a story.
Every mile reflects hope.
Some participants run in celebration of their own recovery. Others walk in support of loved ones. Many come to remember those we’ve lost. Together, we move forward as one community. Running toward healing, freedom, and a brighter future.
