From the Organizer
From the steps of the Arkansas State Capitol to the heart of the recovery community, join the Wolfe Street Foundation for a community walk/run event bringing together individuals, families, teams, and recovery supporters from across Arkansas.
Every registration includes:
The Recovery Mile will take participants around the Arkansas State Capitol grounds, while the 5K route will travel from the Capitol area down Capitol Avenue, turning at Louisiana Street toward the Wolfe Street Foundation building before returning to the Capitol grounds!
Whether you run the 5K, walk the Recovery Mile, participate with a team, or show up in honor of someone you love, every step helps break stigma and make recovery visible.
