Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, participants of all ages are invited to come together in support of individuals and families impacted by substance use and mental health challenges.

This festive fall event will feature a spirited 5K for adults and youth, along with a Kids Dash designed especially for our youngest participants. Costumes are encouraged, and the day will be filled with energy, encouragement, and community pride as we raise awareness about the importance of recovery support and education.
