Lace up and join us for the Guest House Run Over Addiction 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run—a community event celebrating hope, recovery, and the life-saving mission of Guest House.
The 1-Mile Fun Run, great for kids and families, begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 5K race at 9:00 a.m. on the scenic campus of Guest House, home to the historic William E. Scripps Mansion in Lake Orion, Michigan.
Proceeds from this event directly support Guest House’s mission to provide the information, education, treatment and care needed to assure that Catholic clergy, men and women religious, and seminarians suffering from alcoholism, addictions, and other behavioral health conditions have the best opportunity for quality recovery and overall health and wellness.
For the first time, we are proud to offer a virtual 5K option, allowing supporters near and far to participate. All runners—both in person and virtual—will receive a commemorative event shirt and participation medal. Prizes will be awarded to the top in-person male/female age category finishers.
